Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary
Students with a Biblical Studies or Preaching major have the exciting opportunity to study in the home city of 
Jesus in Nazareth, Israel. If you’re ready to expand your hermeneutical horizons and never view the Bible the same way again, this program is for you! It consists of four courses that count towards the Biblical Studies or Preaching majors as well as ample travel throughout Israel. Students with a major other than Biblical Studies or Preaching are also welcome to participate in this study abroad program during the interterm (three week) session while taking a course called “Christianity and Islam” and travelling throughout Israel. For more information, check out the program brochure or hear from students who studied at NETS!
