In addition, Bar-Ilan offers a preparatory program that readies [[aliyah|new immigrants]] for Israeli colleges. The university also runs a one-year overseas program called ''[[Torah im Derech Eretz|Torah Im Derech Eretz]] Program'', which combines traditional [[Kollel]] [[Torah]] studies in the morning, separate for men and women, as well as co-ed general university studies and [[Jewish history]] classes in the afternoon. Many American students enrolled in regular programs of study in the university also take these Jewish history classes to fulfill their [[Jewish studies]] requirements.

Bar-Ilan also houses several research institutions such as the above-mentioned [[Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center]], focused on [[neuroscience]], which may have their own requirements.
