History

The college was founded in 1967 as a branch of Bar-Ilan University and focused mainly on teaching accountancy and 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 University from 2002 to 2012.

Today the college has thousands of students and plans are being made to triple its size.

gollark: Also, you seem to be blaming the individual developers despite the possibility of there being more things going on.
gollark: Well, it's very indirect in these cases.
