The Spring 2024 Jerusalem Civ program will be temporarily relocated to Rome, Italy due to uncertainty surrounding the current conflict in the Middle East. The decision was made in partnership with the faculty teaching as part of the program this year, who are confident in the transferability of curricular content, and existing partners on the ground in Rome who are ready to accommodate the group. Students have been notified of the change and have the option of withdrawing from the program with no consequences, including reimbursement for their paid administrative fees. The College plans to continue the Jerusalem program in the future.

The University of Chicago’s Spring quarter Jerusalem program provides University of Chicago students with an opportunity to study Middle Eastern Civilizations in one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
