Background
The Israel University Consortium's Israel University Study Tour for study abroad professionals is designed to give those responsible for facilitating study abroad in Israel a better understanding of the overseas student programs at four of Israel's major universities. Former participants of the tour came back to their campuses with a deeper understanding of Israel's rich history and culture, and its valuable contribution to global education.

The upcoming 2009 Study Tour will be the IUC's tenth annual. The recent 2008 IUST was another tremendous success and we are thrilled to be able to offer it again in 2009.

Highlights
» Campus tours of Ben-Gurion University, Haifa University, Hebrew University, and Tel Aviv University.
» Masada, the Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee, Old Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beer Sheva, and Jerusalem.
» Five-star hotel accommodations.
» A licensed tour guide.
» All tours will be accompanied by Israeli security.
» Special academic presentations on Israel's history, society, and politics; Middle East regional cooperation; Israeli innovations in education, agriculture, and technology.

Cost
Full cost of the Israel University Study Tour will be approximately $3,500. However, this tour is highly subsidized, and we expect participant cost to be about $1,800, including airfare, 5 star accomodation, admission to all sites, select meals, giuded tours, and connections. Significant others are welcome to join the program, though they will not receive a subsidy.
