It was originally called "Midreshet Ruppin" and the "Ruppert School", and was established to provide management education in the area of agriculture, the kibbutz, and the moshav.[1][3] In 2001, it became a public school.[3]
In 2013, Ruppin and Tel Aviv University created a joint advanced multi-disciplinary center with the purpose of training students, with a focus on environmental issues in the Mediterranean Sea.[4] In October 2014, it was announced that Noble Energy would establish a center to train technicians in the energy and natural gas industry at Ruppin with a grant of NIS 12 million.[5][6]
