Your American peers will spend three years in law school - after four years of undergrad - and graduate with $200,000 in debt before they can sit the Bar. At Ono, you do it in four years, in English, with NY Bar prep built into the curriculum and included in tuition. Israel's largest law faculty. Real clients from Year 1. A Columbia Law School collaboration that opens doors most law students never reach.

Why Choose Our LL.B. Program:

  • NY Bar prep - included. Not an add-on, not extra. Embedded in your degree from Day 1. Graduate ready to sit the New York Bar.

  • Legal clinic from Year 1 - real cases, real clients, real advocacy. Not a simulation. Not a moot court exercise. Actual legal work.

  • Columbia Law School collaboration - international legal exposure built into the program.

  • Israeli + international law - graduate fluent in both systems. Practice in Israel, the US, or anywhere deals get done across borders.

  • 4 years. Done. While your peers are still finishing undergrad, you'll have a law degree and a career.

Real estate is the world's largest asset class. Israel is one of its most active markets. And this is the only degree in Israel that teaches you how it actually works - finance, law, taxation, and valuation in one program, built for students who plan to invest, develop, or advise at the intersection of Israeli and global markets. Three years. English throughout. A curriculum designed for careers that don't exist in a single country.

Why Choose Our B.A. Program:

  • The only degree of its kind in Israel - Finance + Real Estate + Law + Tax in one program. No other Israeli institution offers this combination in English.

  • Live market exposure from Year 1 - Israel's real estate and capital markets as your classroom. One of the most dynamic investment ecosystems in the world.

  • US–Israel comparative curriculum - built for careers that move between markets. Investment banking, asset management, development, tax advisory.

  • Hands-on practicum - real deals, real valuations, real market analysis. Not theory for its own sake.

  • 3 years. Career-ready. Graduate with credentials that work in Tel Aviv, New York, and everywhere in between.

You don't need to pause your career to get this MBA. Evening classes, 15 months, and you keep your salary throughout. What you get in return: deep expertise in finance, fintech, and capital markets - taught in the country that produces more Nasdaq-listed companies per capita than anywhere else on earth - led by Prof. Shmuel Hauser, former Chairman of the Israel Securities Authority. This is not a credential. It's a career accelerator.

Why Choose Our MBA Program:

  • Keep working. Keep earning. Evening format across 5 trimesters — approximately 15 months. Your career doesn't stop. It upgrades.

  • Prof. Shmuel Hauser — former Chairman of the Israel Securities Authority (Israel's SEC equivalent), Senior VP and Professor of Finance at Ono. When he teaches capital markets, he has run one.

  • Finance, Fintech & Capital Markets — built for Israel's startup and investment ecosystem. The most relevant MBA curriculum for anyone operating between Israel and global financial markets.

  • Up to 3 trimesters via Zoom — flexibility without compromise.

  • Why now: Israel's fintech sector is expanding faster than its talent pipeline. The professionals who understand both markets — Israeli and international — are the ones being hired.

You've spent years making things. Now you want to understand what making can do for people who are struggling. Ono's M.A. in Visual Art Therapy is the only English-language Art Therapy master's program in Israel - a three-year clinical degree that puts you in real sessions with real clients from Semester 1. Not eventually. From the beginning. If you've been looking for a way to turn your creative instincts into a clinical career, this is the only place in Israel to do it in English.

Why Choose Our M.A. Program:

  • The only English Art Therapy MA in Israel. This credential doesn't exist anywhere else in the country in English. If this is your path, this is your program.

  • Clinical practice from Semester 1 - supervised sessions with real clients from the very start. You don't spend two years in theory before you touch the work.

  • Small cohort. Deep relationships. Faculty know every student. The learning is intimate by design.

  • Ministry of Health recognized - the same clinical pathway and credential as Israeli-trained art therapists.

  • Built for career-changers - designers, social workers, educators, psychologists-in-progress. If art is how you understand the world, this is how you help others do the same.

  • Why now: The demand for art therapists in Israel has grown significantly since October 2023. Hospitals, schools, trauma centers, and community organizations are actively seeking qualified practitioners. You graduate into a system that needs you.

Testimonials

What our students say

I came from New Jersey not knowing a word of Hebrew. Four years later I passed the Israeli bar and I'm prepping for the NY Bar with the same notes. The legal clinic from Year 1 is what made the difference.

R

Rachel Goldstein

LL.B. Graduate, 2024

The OT program is small enough that the professors actually know your name. I had a job offer before graduation. Worth flying across the world for.

D

Daniel Cohen

B.O.T. Graduate, 2023

I looked at programs in London and New York before choosing Ono. Clinical work starts in the first semester here, which no one else offered. Living 15 minutes from Tel Aviv is a bonus.

S

Sophie Levin

M.A. Visual Art Therapy Student

Evening classes meant I could intern during the day at a fintech startup in Tel Aviv. Got hired full-time before the program even ended.
