Jerusalem College of Technology

What Jerusalem College of Technology does

Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT, legally "Jerusalem College of Technology - Lev Academic Center") is a private, nonprofit academic institution founded in 1969 in Jerusalem, Israel, and recognized by the Council for Higher Education. It is Jerusalem's second-largest academic institution with approximately 4,700-5,000 students and operates four campuses: Lev Campus for men in Givat Mordechai, Tal Campus for women (currently being rebuilt at a 325,000 square-foot site), Lustig Campus in Ramat Gan for Haredi women, and Tevuna Campus for Haredi women graduates of Beit Yaakov. Its core proposition is the integration of intensive Torah study with academic and professional credentials in engineering, computer science, nursing, life sciences, and business management—serving primarily Haredi and religious-Zionist populations that require gender separation and religious observance accommodations, alongside specialized programs for Ethiopian Jewish students and English-speaking international students.

JCT's academic portfolio spans three faculties (Engineering and Computer Science, Life Sciences and Health, Management) plus graduate programs including an M.Sc. in Computer Science with AI specialization, an M.S.N. in Nursing, and an M.H.I. in Health Informatics. It maintains 90+ active researchers across specialized labs (Nano-Technology, Solid-State Laser, Medical Optics, Elastic Computing, Communication/NetLab, Nano-Optics, Oceanography) and supports applied AI and computer vision research in medical imaging and bioinformatics. Student services are delivered through the LevNet portal, Moodle LMS, the LevTech Entrepreneurship Center, and dedicated Haredi integration support. The Selma Jelinek School of Nursing (founded 2007) reports a 100% pass rate on national accreditation exams and is the largest nursing program in Jerusalem.

The revenue model combines regulated tuition (university-level reduced rates set annually by Israel's Council for Higher Education, approximately $3,800/year for international students) with significant philanthropic fundraising through Friends of JCT chapters in the USA, Canada, and the UK. The institution is currently executing a $120 million capital campaign for the new Tal Campus for Women, with approximately $80 million raised from major donors including Helmsley Charitable Trust ($9M), Israel Henry Beren Charitable Foundation ($9M), a $15M anonymous Israeli lead gift, and other contributors. Named graduate employers include Intel, IBM, Check Point, Texas Instruments, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Hadassah Hospital Ein Karem, and Procter & Gamble, supporting reported graduate employment rates exceeding 90% for Haredi alumni.
