The courses offered each year in modern Hebrew provide different levels of instruction suitable for students with a range of backgrounds in the language, from those with no training at all in it or minimal exposure, to those with a more extensive background in it (e.g., Jewish day school, yeshivah, previous university training, study in Israel, Hebrew as a native language). Students with anything but the most rudimentary background in the language should not enrol in the introductory modern Hebrew course (HEBR 190). To ensure that students are properly placed according to their levels of linguistic competence, students must consult with the instructor of the course or the coordinator of the Hebrew Program about course placement. All students may take the Introduction to Biblical Hebrew.
Some courses in Hebrew are accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of several academic units, including Jewish Studies, Linguistics, Religious Studies and World Language Studies.
