The Jerusalem College of Technology - Lev Academic Center (JCT) (Hebrew: המרכז האקדמי לב), is an Orthodox Jewish college, recognized by the Council for Higher Education. JCT's main campus('Lev') is situated in the Givat Mordechai neighborhood of Jerusalem. Other branches are located in the Givat Shaul neighborhood ('Tal Campus') of Jerusalem and Ramat Gan('Lustig Campus'). JCT offers bachelor's degrees and master's degrees in several fields of study combined with intensive Jewish studies.
The college, founded in 1969 by Professor Ze’ev Lev (William Low) and by Professor Josef Haim Yakopow, specializes in high-tech engineering, industrial management and life and health sciences. JCT is particularly known for its electro-optics faculty. The institution is fully accredited by the Council for Higher Education in Israel, the main authority overseeing Israel's academic institutions. Over 4,000 students are currently enrolled in JCT, with a faculty of over 500 professors, instructors and researchers. The mission of the college is to educate students "who see the synthesis of Jewish values and a profession as their way of life; to provide manpower for Israel's developing high-tech industry and who will establish industries of their own; to produce industrial leaders strongly committed to Israel, a Jewish way of life, and for the betterment of the Jewish People and the world." JCT's goal to bring higher education to underprivileged communities is most evident in their EFE (Education for Ethiopians) and Haredi Integration programs.
