Touro Israel Option - Eligibility

The program is open to US residents and is subject to the admission policy and procedure of the Touro Israel Option.

If you study in Machon Maayan and are accepted for the Touro Israel Option you can gain up to 32 credits in one year. Transcripts are issued only by the Office of the Registrar of Touro College in New York.

Please note:

1. Students who wish to participate on the Touro College Israel Option (TCIO) must meet the admissions requirements of the Lander Colleges of Arts and Sciences, a division of Touro College, and of Machon Maayan. Students in the Israel Option are pursuing a BA degree at one of the Lander Colleges of Arts and Sciences.
2. A Machon Maayan student who is not participating on the Israel Option but subsequently attends Touro College may transfer credits earned abroad towards their Touro College degree in accordance with policies established at the college.
3. Preliminary registration for TCIO should take place with Touro College prior to the student's departure for Israel. Subsequently, each semester's course selection will take place at the Machon conducted by Machon and Touro personnel.
4. Touro's tuition for TCIO will be $900 for full year students above that charged by the Machon. Touro will honor letters of scholarships from the OU Israel Center, NCSY and the Machon, as well as other sources of scholarship, towards the cost of the educational component of the Machon.
