In Stage 3, six highly capable students with ID (with and without Down syndrome) are fully integrated in undergraduate courses. They have to date completed 40 out of 64 academic credits required for the BA degree. Based on their success, the Bar-Ilan University directors decided to register these six students as full-fledged students. They will receive a BA degree in Social Sciences.
