Modern Hebrew, spoken by around nine million people today, serves as the contemporary standard form of the language. The Modern Hebrew major offers a comprehensive language acquisition program focusing on five key skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and cultural awareness. As you progress, you'll enhance your proficiency in these areas, primarily using everyday spoken Hebrew while also exploring diverse genres and text types—from media to prose and poetry. By completing the major, you'll achieve fluency in various contexts and gain insight into analyzing Modern Hebrew's linguistic features, literature, and culture. The program accommodates different proficiency levels through placement tests, ensuring appropriate unit selection for optimal learning progression. Additionally, due to its alignment with the Rothberg International School at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, you may have opportunities to study abroad as part of your degree.
