AGTS will offer a three-week study tour of Israel (May 11–31) with optional half-week extension to Jordan (May 8–10) in 2008.

Earn four graduate credits through Jerusalem University College for this course, entitled BIBST 593 “Geographical and Historical Settings of the Bible,” which will transfer into AGTS as BIB 640 “Specialized Themes in Biblical Studies.” You may take an additional two credits from AGTS at regular tuition costs as a practicum. To transfer these credits from Jerusalem University College to AGTS, contact the Registrar’s Office prior to departure (gheiskell@agts.edu, 268-1026).

These credits will fulfill any of the general elective requirements and can be substituted for any other core requirement as deemed appropriate by the student’s faculty adviser.

Dr. George Wood (AGTS Board of Directors, chair, and general superintendent of the AG) is working to secure funding to scholarship up to 30 AGTS students at $1,500 each toward the cost of the first of what will hopefully become an annual event. Spouses and non-students are welcome if space is available; however, the scholarship is available only to AGTS students.

All payments should be submitted to the AGTS Business Office, checks made payable to AGTS.

For complete itemization of costs, see Fact Sheet.

*Does not include passport, visa or physical exam costs.
