The Bachelor of Hebrew Letters (B.H.L.) Program is a 4 year course, offering a unique approach for the adult learner. The program is designed to accommodate the needs and schedules of adults. As such, it incorporates lectures, one-on-one tutorials, intensive learning modules, web-based learning, and individual study assignments. 

The Master of Hebrew Letters / M.H.L. and Smicha Program is a 2 year, advanced, accelerated program leading to the Yoreh Yoreh Smicha (Rabbinical Ordination - men only) and the Master in Hebrew Letters degree.
