Overview

What is the BA Business Administration (international program)?

JCT models its business curriculum on programs at leading universities and combines management and marketing with a technology background. Lectures sit alongside practical research projects, an intern project and a final project, and graduates have gone on to roles in business and high tech in Israel and abroad. Mornings include Torah study at the Beit Midrash (men) or Midrasha (women).

✓A good fit if you…

  • Want a business degree in a Torah-centered environment
  • Are ready to switch to Hebrew after the first year
  • Want an affordable, recognized Israeli degree
  • Are an oleh or olah and want tuition covered by the Student Authority

!Think twice if you…

  • Want a business degree fully in English. See Reichman’s or TAU’s programs.
  • Want a secular or co-ed campus.
  • Don’t want daily Torah study in your schedule.
