Students study a core curriculum of Old Testament Studies, New Testament Studies of the Gospels, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Arab and Islamic Civilization, Israeli and Jewish Civilization, language studies (Hebrew and Arabic), etc., at this Center for Near Eastern Studies; besides field trips covering Holy Land, Jordan and Turkey. The 125,000-square-foot, eight-level structure is set amid five acres on Mount Scopus.

Besides Jerusalem Center, it has branches in Rexburg (Idaho, USA) and Laie (Hawaii, USA); a Center & Business College in Salt Lake City (Utah); and a Missionary Training Center in Provo. Its mission is “to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life” and Kevin J Worthen is the President.
