All Together Now on a New Campus

Ono’s new campus will serve as a home for students from all backgrounds to be educated and prepared for successful careers that meet the challenges of Israel today and tomorrow.

Providing a Pathway to Opportunity
The new facility will advance our mission of providing educational access to populations that are otherwise underrepresented in higher education.

Respect for Cultures
Ono’s commitment to academic excellence coupled with social responsibility informs what and how Ono teaches.

A Commitment to Diversity
As part of Ono’s core curriculum, students learn about the diverse cultures that make up Israeli society. Classrooms are filled with students from different backgrounds and professors who represent all of Israel’s social, religious, and ethnic groups.

Empowering People Who Power Israel
Ono prepares our students with analytical tools to prosper in an increasingly sophisticated world. Our graduates are now serving at the top levels of Israeli society – in government, business, law, education, social welfare, healthcare, music, and sports.
Outstanding Student Employment Rates
Because our curriculum is customized based on real-world needs, most Ono graduates find employment shortly after graduation. Nearly 100% of our Ethiopian-Israeli graduates and 85% of our Ultra-Orthodox commence their careers quickly after graduation.
Innovating New Programs
Our success rates are due to Ono’s focus on meeting the needs of the job market. From the first sports therapy program to the first MA in Digital Strategy, Ono Academic College is at the forefront of education, developing new programs in areas that employers seek. In fact, many programs, such as our BA in Advertising and Marketing Communications, are only offered at Ono.
Meeting Contemporary Needs
Ono’s ground-breaking Multicultural Jewish Studies program trains teachers to discover and teach pluralistic approaches to Judaism. Our Law School’s clinics and social outreach align with Ono’s mission of social unification. Our programs at the Jerusalem campus bring technology and social issues like domestic abuse to Ultra-Orthodox and Arab communities

New Ono Campus

With our new campus in Kiryat Ono, near Tel Aviv, we predict teaching over 25,000 students from diverse backgrounds by 2028, up from 18,000 today. For the first time in Israel, Haredi men and women will be studying on the same campus as secular, Arab, and Christian Israelis.

Your support of Ono’s new campus creates a permanent legacy for your family while helping Ono fulfill its promise of bringing students together to better understand each other.

This new campus, located in the center of Israel, slated to open in 2023, will meet the growing demands for Ono’s unique educational approach.

The new, modern campus near Kiryat Ono will incorporate the latest technologies and augment our other campuses around the country in preparing students for successful professional and personal lives.
