Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs has established a joint program with Israel’s IDC Herzliya.

The joint program with the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy at IDC Herzliya will begin in fall 2014.

Under the program, juniors from the Wilson school will enroll in the Middle East specialization offered by the Lauder School. At the end of the semester the students will write a policy paper as part of the Princeton Task Force Program.

The IDC is the Wilson School’s only partner in the Middle East. Princeton also has similar partnerships with six universities worldwide, including the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and Sciences Po in Paris.

Founded in 1994, IDC is the first private, non-profit institute of higher education in Israel. The student body is international with 25 percent coming from overseas. Of the international students, 34 percent come from the U.S. and 28 percent come from Europe.

Princeton has study abroad programs at several universities in Israel: Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rothberg International School; Tel Aviv University, Lowy School for Overseas Students; and the University of Haifa.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
