Overview

What is the Entrepreneurship & Business Administration double major?

It’s a bachelor’s degree that pairs a full business foundation (marketing, finance, accounting and statistics) with hands-on entrepreneurship. Reichman calls it the first of its kind in Israel. At its heart, students build an initiative in teams, from idea to implementation, with mentors from Israel’s startup community, entrepreneurs and investors.

  • Have strong quantitative and analytical skills, which the program asks for
  • Want to study in English inside Herzliya’s startup ecosystem
  • Are an oleh or olah under 27 who can start within 3 years of aliyah

!Think twice if you…
