Courses in the Hebrew language have been offered at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ since the University held its first classes in 1842. They were a central part of the University's curriculum during its early decades, when a large percentage of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ students studied theology and required knowledge of Hebrew for biblical studies.
Since 1912, when the University separated from the Presbyterian Church and established the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ affiliated Theological College, ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ has offered one introductory and one advanced course in the language, both to students at the Theological College and students in the Faculty of Arts and Science.
