Shalem College (Hebrew: המרכז האקדמי שלם, HaMerkaz HaAkademi Shalem) is a private liberal arts college in Jerusalem, Israel providing undergraduate education and founded with the aim of producing "broadly educated citizens for lives of influence and service."[3] It is the only Israeli institution of higher education to offer a broad-based Core Curriculum as the basis for a first degree, as opposed to the general practice in Israeli universities and colleges of restricting a student's courses to a single department or field.[4][1]
Candidates to the college are selected on the basis of exams, intellectual capabilities, and demonstrated commitment to public service.[5] Accepted applicants receive substantial financial aid packages.[5] The college is accredited by the Council for Higher Education in Israel.[6]
