The history of the University dates to 1967, when Sheikh
Mohammed Ali Al-Ja'bari realized that the Israeli
Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza would eventually
lead to isolating the cities and towns. Sheikh Al-Ja'bari
and other Palestinian personalities established Hebron
(Al-Khalil) University in 1971 pioneering higher
education in Palestine. This helped the University
overcome Israeli measures, and create a good opportunity
for the needy and conservative families who would not
otherwise send their daughters out of town to pursue
higher education, either due to financial considerations
or due to traditions. In 1971, the University started as
a small college of Shari' a (Islamic Law) serving a
total of 43 students. The University now offers 39
programs leading to Bachelor degrees and 6 programs
leading to Master degree. Hebron University awards B.A or B.Sc degrees in
each of its 8 faculties: Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty
of Al-Shari'a, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education,
Faculty of Finance and Management, Faculty of Science
and Technology, Faculty of Nursing and College of
Graduate Studies & Scientific Research offers seven Master
degrees in the Arabic Language & Literature, English
Linguistics, Business Administration, Islamic Judiciary
Law, Plant Protection, Sustainable Natural
Resources and Management and History.
