This study aimed to know the real situation of the social degree

responsibility for Al- Quds Open university students and to specify the impact

of all the following: the academic program variables, the place of residence,

the gender and the scholastic year on the degree of the social responsibility

for Al- Quds Open University students. The study also tried to put forward

members. The two researchers chose a random class sample consisting of 500

students from both genders in the educational areas in northern West Bank.

The researchers prepared an instrument represented in a questionnaire to

measure the social responsibility for Al- Quds Open University students. The

questionnaire consisted of two parts. The first one included primary required

data and the second included sections which measure the social responsibility

for Al- Quds Open University. The number of the items in these sections

amounts to 58 distributed on four main domains. These are: the personal,

religious, ethic, social, group and national responsibilities.

The study arrived at the following results:

1. There are no differences of statistical significance on the variable of the

gender.

2. There are differences of statistical significance on the variable of the

place of residence between the village and the camp in the favor of the

first group and between the city and the camp and it was for the favor of

the first group.

3. There are no differences of statistical significance for the variable of the

scholastic year.

4. There are differences of statistical significance on the variable of

the program between the social development and the economic and

administrative sciences which was in favor of the first group and between

the economic and administrative sciences and education and it was in

favor of the second group and between education and the social and

family development and it was in favor of the second group..
