IBEX
Program Description
The Israel Bible Extension program, “IBEX,” is TMU’s 15-week semester abroad program in Israel. IBEX provides a quality educational opportunity for students who wish to enhance their knowledge of the geography, history, archaeology, and culture of the land of Israel. Classroom lectures and frequent field trips expose students to every corner of the land and to every period of the history of the people of that land. Each student’s educational experience, as well as his or her personal maturation, is significantly enhanced by the cross-cultural experience which the semester-abroad program provides.

Short-Term Programs
Academic study trips (both bachelors and graduate level; 2-4 credits) are sometimes offered during the summer months between regular semesters.
Excavations
During the semester program, IBEX students participate in various archaeological excavations at ancient sites associated with biblical events. Participants in short-term trips often are able to participate in a “Dig for a Day.”
