IDC Herzliya, the first private institution of higher education in Israel, opened its doors in 1994 thanks to the vision of Prof. Uriel Reichman. IDC Herzliya's ten schools offer innovative, dynamic undergraduate and graduate programs that educate Israel's future business, juridical, high-tech, communications, economics and civic leaders. All of the academic programs provide students with both the solid theoretical background and the practical interdisciplinary skills that are essential for success in the 21st century. Many IDC Herzliya alumni have gone on to hold key positions at government agencies, leading high-tech companies and financial institutions. IDC Herzliya is unique in its educational methods, which are based on an interdisciplinary approach and the teaching of information technology and global markets. We combine theory with real world experience and provide our students with proficiencies.
