Founded in 1965 as Emek Yezreel College, Max Stern College later served as a regional branch of University of Haifa from 1973 to 1994. In 1994 the Israel Council for Higher Education gave accreditation to Max Stern College as an independent academic institution capable of granting bachelor's degrees.
