Where do you see your business career taking you? Whether you aspire to manage investments, lead real estate ventures, or launch your own startup, this program gives you the business foundation and practical tools to move forward.
With the first year taught entirely in English, our B.A. in Business Administration combines a broad foundation in management, marketing, and entrepreneurship with a Double Major in Finance & Real Estate Investment. You’ll learn how businesses grow, how investment decisions are made, and how to turn opportunities into viable ventures.
Designed for international students, the program brings a global perspective to business and investment. You’ll explore how markets, economic conditions, and technology shape financial and real estate decisions in Israel, the United States, and beyond.
Dual Expertise for a Competitive Edge
Understanding both finance and real estate helps you connect investment decisions with the assets, markets, and business strategies behind them. You’ll develop the analytical skills to evaluate transactions, assess cash flows and risk, understand financing structures, and analyze the feasibility of development projects.
Alongside this specialized knowledge, marketing and entrepreneurship courses deepen your understanding of customers and markets, helping you develop business models and bring new ventures to life.
Throughout the program, you’ll use AI tools to support market research, financial analysis, and the evaluation of business opportunities, while learning to critically assess their outputs and apply sound professional judgment.
