The Hebrew program at the University of Virginia is growing rapidly. At present, we offer beginning and intermediate levels of Modern Israeli Hebrew, allowing students to complete their undergraduate foreign language requirement in Modern Hebrew. Conversation classes and advanced reading courses are regularly offered on an independent study basis. The university also offers classes in Biblical Hebrew, through the Religious Studies Department.
NOTE (taken from Undergraduate Record):
(3) = Number of credits. For courses dually numbered (101, 102 or 201, 202, etc.) the number of credits represents the number of credits for each course. For example three credits for 101, three credits for 102, etc.
(Y) = Code for frequency course is offered. Variations are: S = offered fall and spring semesters; Y = offered at least once every academic year (fall or spring semester); SI = offered upon sufficient student interest; IR = offered irregularly.

The Department reserves the right to place any student in the course most appropriate to his or her skill level. Such placement will be the responsibility of the coordinator for each language program, and should be made by the fifth class meeting.
