History
The college was founded in 1967 as a branch of
banking
. Student numbers were only a couple of dozen.
In 1988 the management was changed and the college began to expand its activity; in 1990 it was recognised by the
Education Minister of Israel Zevulun Hammer
as a regional college, which meant its students spent the first two years in the college and after that transferred to Bar-Ilan University.
In 1992 Bar-Ilan University approved the college to grant bachelor's degrees on its behalf, and in 1998 the university transferred to a new campus. Moshe Many was President of the College from 2002 to 2012.
