The Seminary for Administration (Midrasha Laminhal) was founded in Tel Aviv in 1962 by the Histadrut trade union to provide for professional training in the fields of administration. In the 1970s, the Seminary changed its name to the College of Management.[ citation needed ] In 1987, the College of Management received authorization from the Council for Higher Education to conduct academic studies and was the first private academic institution certified in Israel. [3]

In 1992, the academic track separated from the non-academic track, which continues to operate as a separate entity under the name "The College of Management". The academic track, operating as a separate entity, adopted the name "The College of Management Academic Studies."[ citation needed ]

The College of Management Academic Studies (COLMAN) began operations at the campus in Rishon LeTzion during the 1995–1996 academic year.[ citation needed ] The campus encompasses an area of approximately 130 dunams and includes: the Faculty of Business and the School of Economics building, the School of Behavioural Sciences, the Department of Psychology and the Faculty of Law building, the School of Design and Innovation building, the School of Media Studies and Faculty of Computer Science building, the library building, and an auditorium.

Teaching and degrees

The Teaching Authority was established to improve the quality of teaching at institutions of higher education in Israel in general, and at COLMAN in particular, through various means, while developing tools to measure quality instruction. It encourages debate on the essence of academic teaching and its quality amongst the faculty and academic management.[ citation needed ]

The Research Authority aims to encourage research activity among the college schools and academic departments to aid faculty in locating research funds both in Israel and abroad and to prepare grant proposals. The Authority encourages faculty to engage in both basic and applied research as an important element for the improvement of the quality of teaching, a stepping-stone for the personal academic advancement of the faculty, and increasing the prestige of the college in Israel and abroad.[ citation needed ]
