Ruppin Academic Center (Hebrew: המרכז האקדמי רופין), also known as Ruppin College, is a college in Israel.[1] It was established in 1949, is named for Arthur Ruppin, and is located near the moshav Kfar Monash, and within the Emek Hefer Regional Council area.[1] In 2015, it had 4,500 students.[2]

It was originally called "Midreshet Ruppin" and the "Ruppert School", and was established to provide management education in the area of agriculture, the kibbutz, and the moshav.[1][3] In 2001, it became a public school.[3]

In 2013, Ruppin and Tel Aviv University created a joint advanced multi-disciplinary center with the purpose of training students, with a focus on environmental issues in the Mediterranean Sea.[4] In October 2014, it was announced that Noble Energy would establish a center to train technicians in the energy and natural gas industry at Ruppin with a grant of NIS 12 million.[5][6]

It has four schools (economics and business administration, social and communal sciences, engineering, and marine sciences) and 15 academic departments, and awards bachelor’s and master's degrees.[1][3]
