The study program is divided into core studies in Comparative Religion which are required by all BA departmental students, and specialized studies through a cluster which students pick according to their own interests (Judaism/Christianity/Islam/Asian religions/Ancient Religions). As part of the curriculum, familiarization with the religions of our time and place is emphasized, which includes a tour program of religious communities in Jerusalem and the encouragement of the department's students to participate in a workshop that leads to field research in religious communities. There is also the possibility of integrating the study of ancient languages in the BA, from Ancient Egyptian to Old Tibetan, from Greek to Syriac and Arabic. This enriches the academic experience and allows further specialization in the field.
