About the College
The Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College: Empowering Futures, Transforming Lives
Located in the heart of downtown Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College is a fully accredited national institution of higher learning with over 5,000 students from every region in Israel.
The College was founded by the Hadassah Women’s Organization of America (HWZOA) under the name “Hadassah Academic College in 1996. For many years, HWZOA supported the College. In 2024, the HWZOA and the College agreed to separate their ties allowing the College to embark on a new independent path.
A New Era of Opportunity
The College offers a high level, career-focused education that equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s dynamic job market. From undergraduate programs in Biotechnology, Computer Science, Optometry, Creative Human Design, and Management, to advanced master’s degrees in Vision Sciences, Communication Disorders, and beyond, we offer a wide range of academic programs in areas of high demand in the workplace. Our personal assistance to each student, strong industry connections, and career services are designed to propel students toward meaningful careers while fostering upward social mobility.
Our Approach: "We Believe in You"
Launched in February 2025, our "We Believe in You" philosophy captures the essence of our mission: empowering every student to reach their fullest potential. We understand that success begins with belief, and we are committed to helping our students unlock their untapped potential. By nurturing their growth and providing them with the tools for success, we not only shape the future of our students but also contribute to the prosperity of Israel’s economy and society.
Building Careers, Changing Lives
More than half of our students are the first in their families to pursue a college education, underscoring the transformative power of education. Our student body reflects the rich diversity of Israeli society, including Jews from secular to ultra-Orthodox backgrounds, new immigrants from around the world, and both Christian and Muslim Arabs. The College provides a supportive environment where every student may benefit from personalized guidance, preparatory programs, and career services to help them reach their potential. The success of this approach is evident in the fact that over 90% of our graduates secure employment in their respective field of study upon completion of their degree.
A Community of Belief and Achievement
At the Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College, we believe in the power of education to drive positive social change. Our commitment to supporting underrepresented communities not only enhances the educational experience for our students but also strengthens Israel’s economy and society. By offering access to higher education for those who need it most, we are fostering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals.
Your Support Matters
The generosity of our friends in Israel and around the world enables us to continue providing life-changing educational opportunities. Your support is an investment in the future of our students and, by extension, in the future of Israel. Together, we can empower the next generation of leaders, shaping a brighter, stronger tomorrow for Jerusalem, Israel, and beyond.
