Hebrew | Doctoral Degree

Middlebury College

This program is designed for Hebrew language educators. Graduate-level proficiency in the language is required.

Description

The Doctor of Modern Languages (DML) in Hebrew prepares excellent language educators who want to advance the field of teaching and learning Hebrew as leading educators and researchers.

Each DML student spends at least one semester or two summers residing in Israel in order to gain greater familiarity with the target culture. If students are unable to visit Israel, they can opt to fulfill the residency abroad requirement through a cultural residency.

The Doctor of Modern Languages degree, established in 1927, is unique to Middlebury and differs from the more traditional Ph.D. The Doctor of Modern Languages (DML) prepares teacher-scholars in two modern foreign languages.

Before formal admission to the DML program, an accepted applicant completes a summer of candidacy at the L1 School on the Middlebury or Bennington, Vermont campus.

This program is made up of a series of six-week summer sessions over seven years. It can take up to 10 years to complete, and requries 4 years of studying before you can progress to writing the prospectus. Please contact The School of Hebrew with any questions about this program.
