Completion toward a bachelor's degree in education for women holding a teaching certificate

Jerusalem College offers completion programs toward a bachelor's degree in attractive tracks for graduates of seminaries who hold a "senior teacher" certificate.
The scope of the program depends on how well it matches the track and the specialization on the teaching certificate

These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.
