History
The college began in 1969 as the Center for Technological Education Holon[8][9]
In 2002 it was recognized by the Council for Higher Education as an independent academic institution of higher education called the Holon Academic Institute of Technology (HAIT), and in 2006, it was rebranded as HIT - Holon Institute of Technology.
In December 2011, HIT was granted authorization to confer the rank of associate professor in five different disciplines, on the condition that there were at least five professors in the specific field of the candidate for professorship.
In 2018, the New York Institute of Technology and Holon Institute of Technology partnered via a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on students and faculty initiatives in a variety of areas.[4]
