The story · English

The Haredi campus of the College of Management in Bnei Brak has developed an academic model that allows ultra-Orthodox students to pursue higher education without sacrificing their careers, family life, or religious lifestyle. Instead of requiring students to adjust their lives to fit the studies, the college adapts the academic schedule to the students' needs. This includes limited study days, morning and evening tracks, full gender separation, and comprehensive support services throughout the academic journey.

The college also offers scholarships, financial arrangements, preparatory courses for those needing to bridge educational gaps, personal guidance, and job placement assistance during studies, making the degree a practical tool for workforce integration. The study programs are designed with the employment needs of the Haredi community in mind, offering bachelor's degrees in computer science, behavioral sciences, economics and management with sought-after specializations, and education. Some tracks also provide professional certificates that give graduates a significant advantage upon completion.

The college emphasizes that success is not only measured by obtaining a degree but also by the student's ability to maintain family life, earn a living, participate in social events, take vacations, and keep a daily routine while advancing academically and professionally. This approach creates an academic environment that combines professionalism with a deep understanding of the Haredi community's needs, offering a tailored learning atmosphere, maximum flexibility, and ongoing support. For many, this model resolves the dilemma between life and studies, enabling them to successfully integrate both.
