Jerusalem College of Technology

The Jerusalem College of Technology–Lev Academic Center has a history of excellence in engineering, electro-optics and defense-related R&D. Approximately half of JCT’s students study engineering, including computer science, electro-optics, electronics and industrial engineering. Other specialties at JCT include business, accounting, and life and health sciences. Students come from Israel and 38 countries around the world. JCT graduates have established numerous high-tech companies and are top engineers in the country’s aerospace and defense industries.
Students will begin with a year of Hebrew study (Ulpan) combined with Computer Science courses, which will then enable native English speakers to pursue engineering degrees taught in Hebrew.
The program, which has grown by 25% annually, will be bolstered by the OU-JLIC couple providing students support, social services and a home-away-from-home.
Graduates of the Schreiber LevTech Entrepreneurship Center see themselves as innovators capable of creating products and establishing startups, much like the center’s new namesake.
With the addition of a new data analytics course, JCT’s Business Administration program is now poised to offer students practical hands-on experience that will open doors to the hi-tech world upon graduation.
Organizers decided to open the event to a broader research community since artificial intelligence has been steadily finding its way into studies.
