The College offers undergraduate degrees in a number of specializations such as education technology, technological management and planning, and geographic information systems.

Israeli forces then shelled Palestinians living amid the rubble of the university on January 22, 2024. The university's president, prominent academic Said Alzebda, was killed during the Gaza genocide on December 31, 2023.
