Peres Academic Center, a unique institution in the Israeli academic landscape. As of 2006, we provide high-quality undergraduate and graduate education that fosters academic excellence, employability, and career readiness. The Peres Academic Center has also taken upon itself a broader economic and social role to be the gatekeeper of opportunity and a pathway to social mobility for under-represented groups including minorities, new-immigrants, first-generation college students and people with disabilities. Inspired by the vision and action of the late Israeli President, Shimon Peres, we are committed to reducing inequalities in access to higher education and widening the social make-up of our student body.
