Rehovot,
Israel. It differs from other
Israeli universities in that only a
graduate program is offered, and only in the sciences.Originally founded in 1934 by
Chaim Weizmann as the Daniel Sieff Research Institute, it was expanded and formally rededicated as the Weizmann Institute of Science on November 2, 1949. Following further expansion and the accreditation of a graduate school (the Feinberg Graduate School), it is now best described as a research university. It presently has about 2,500 students, staff, and faculty, and offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in
Mathematics and
Computer Science,
