As one of the leading educators of professionals for the Galilee, we play a key role in developing Israel’s northern periphery and advancing its diverse communities. Every year, more than 3,000 students use our campus as a springboard to seize opportunities they once believed were out of reach—and to help make the Galilee a flourishing part of Israeli society.
Our programs in the health sciences—including nursing, physical therapy, and emergency medical services—produce graduates who raise the region’s quality of healthcare, the key to closing the gaps in Israel’s health inequity.
Our students are often the first in their families to pursue an academic degree, changing the trajectory of their lives, inspiring their communities, and enabling them to contribute positively to the entire Galilee.
Our campus is a shared space where Jews and Arabs learn, live, and volunteer together, providing a successful model of coexistence they can bring into their homes, workplaces, and communities for a stronger, more cohesive Galilee.
