Initially offering programs for technicians and engineers, it later expanded to include non-academic teaching courses and supplementary education for mothers. In 1993, it gained approval from the Council of Higher Education (CHE) to offer academic programs under Ben Gurion University's supervision. By 1995, it could grant B.Ed. Degrees in various subjects. The college received accreditation for its B.Ed. Degree courses in 1998, along with recognition for specific departments. In 2009, it gained independence, awarding its own B.Sc. degrees in life sciences, and fully separated from Ben-Gurion University in 2012. This consolidation formed Achva Academic College, comprising two undergraduate schools specializing in education, sciences, and a graduate school. As of the 5781 academic year, the college had around 3,000 students and 500 lecturers across twenty fields of study, including special education, mathematics, English teaching, psychology, and more.
