Abstract	This study examined what led undergraduate Israeli-Arab students to choose to study for a degree in Education at a Jewish academic institution, and the influence of this academic choice on them. The study is based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with 33 students. Findings show that the choice stemmed from a desire to lead social change within their own society; to imitate an educational role-model from their past; to realize a dream of even higher education; and among the female students, also because this field suits the role of women in Arab society. The interviewees claimed that the influence of their studies was that they felt more openness towards others and those who are different from them; they felt pride and self-confidence in their abilities; and the women mentioned that they felt empowered.
