Talbot–Israel Study Program Program Director
Dr. Richard Rigsby
The Talbot-Israel Program is a for-credit study program in Israel with an additional excursion to biblically significant sites such as Mt. Sinai, etc., held during the January interterm. The student has opportunity to see and experience the geographical (and to some extent, the cultural) context of the Old Testament and especially the gospels. The program is a block course offered during alternate years with preparatory work done during the semester prior to the interterm travel course. Preparatory work may be done with a scheduled class or independently. The fee for the course includes four (4) units, airfare, all meals (except two), housing, tips and miscellaneous expenses.
