College of Management Academic Studies

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. 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.

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."

The College of Management Academic Studies (COLMAN) began operations at the campus in Rishon LeTzion during the 1995–1996 academic year. 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. In 2013, COLMAN's ultra-orthodox campus opened in the city of Bnei Brak, Israel.
