In Facts JCT has over 1800 students and close to 300 staff members including about 100 Doctors and Professors as faculty members on four campuses in Jerusalem and Ramat Gan that cater to different groups of Israel's society.  Machon Lev – established in 1969 in Jerusalem for young men  Machon Naveh – established in 2001 in Jerusalem for Haredi men  Machon Tal – established in 2000 in Jerusalem for young women  Machon Lustig – established in 1999 in Ramat Gan for Haredi women The Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT) is one of Israel's accredited schools of engineering. JCT was founded in 1969 by Prof. Ze'ev Lev with the goals of: • Educating students who see the synthesis of Jewish values and a profession as their way of life; • Providing the State of Israel with manpower for the country's developing high-tech industry who could also establish industries on their own; and • Producing strongly committed industrial leaders who are dedicated to a Jewish way of life, guided by their religious principles in both their personal and professional lives. The Jerusalem College of Technology , ( JCT ), is a leading institution in education, research and development in the fields of technology including electronics, physics, communications, computer sciences and a wide variety of other fields.

סב"ד http://www.jct.ac.il JCT 2005 integrates advanced studies in Torah, thereby synthesizing the profound roots of religious context and tradition with the world of changing technology. Since 1974, JCT has been accredited by Israel's Council of Higher Education as an academic institution. JCT is currently authorized to award the following degrees: ° Applied Physics / Medical Engineering – B.Sc. ° Applied Physics / Electro Optic Engineering – B.Sc. ° Electronic Engineering – B.Sc. ° Computer Software Engineering – B.Sc. ° Computer Science / Software and Telecommunications – B.Tech&A.S. (Bachelor of Technology & Applied Sciences) (The option exists to combine courses in Applied Mathematics or in Bio-Informatics, Industrial Management or other elective courses.) ° Managerial Accounting & Information Systems – Bachelor of Managerial Accounting and Information Systems ° Technology Management & Marketing – Bachelor of Technology Management & Marketing All students of the Engineering fields (BSc) are eligible to register with Israel's Registry of Engineers and Architects. In addition, all students may take courses to earn a teaching diploma in Science and Technology. JCT prepares students for Israel’s science-based industries while integrating ethical values for Israel’s society. The requisite, double program of High-tech Science/Business Management and Intensive Judaic studies grooms the women and men to enter the industrial/business community as credentialed professionals with a Bachelor’s Degree, well trained in science and well versed in the Judaic heritage. Preparing students through this harmonious combination has earned the College an exclusive position among engineering schools worldwide. To that end, we concentrate our technology curriculum on the most advanced majors utilized in Israel’s high-tech industries, Graduates are qualified for immediate licensing as practicing engineers. JCT Laboratories and Research Capabilities For many years JCT was the home of Patir, a prize winning research and development incubator. Over 40 companies have been established by faculty members, students and new immigrants at JCT. Most research is privately funded. The campuses include many laboratories that the faculty and students can use for research and development and research groups.
