List of universities and colleges in Israel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are eight official universities in Israel. In addition, there are a few dozen colleges and other institutes of higher learning, as well as about a dozen foreign university extensions. All are academically supervised by the Council for Higher Education in Israel (CHEI). The main difference between a university and a college in Israel is that only a university can issue doctorate degrees. Theoretically, a college can apply to the CHEI to upgrade its status to university.

Other institutes of higher-learning in Israel that are accredited by CHEI to confer a Bachelor's (and in some cases also a Master's) degree are called "Colleges" (Hebrew: מכללות, Mikhlalot). There are also over twenty teacher training colleges or seminaries, most of which can award only a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree.
