The story
Founded by Uriel Reichman in 1994.1
Reichman University was founded in 1994 by Uriel Reichman as the Israeli private college Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC Herzliya, Hebrew: המרכז הבינתחומי הרצליה).
The campus is located in the city of Herzliya, Israel, 10 km (6.2 mi) north of Tel Aviv, on the grounds of a former British Air Force base. It served the first squadron of the Israeli Air Force for three months in Israel's War of Independence.
In 2009, Alpha Epsilon Pi opened the first college fraternity in Israel at the IDC.
In 2012, the college attracted controversy for the School of Sustainability being funded by Israel's major polluting companies.
In 2018, the college was authorized by the state council to run several doctoral courses but was not permitted to brand itself as a university. In 2021, the college was permitted to brand itself as a university and changed its name to Reichman University after its founder.
