The current study aims to compare Internet addiction based on gender and specialty, as well as to ascertain the prevalence of Internet addiction among university students. Ninety-six male and female students from the College of Education at University made up the research sample. One of the scholars' tests for Internet addiction was employed. Kimberly Young, an American psychologist and physician, was translated into Arabic in 1996 and the features of psychometrics were extracted. symbolized by the midway segmentation's consistency, constructiveness, obvious honesty, and discriminating strength. Reaching the subsequent conclusions: The current research sample's average level of internet addiction is a favorable finding. There are variations in Internet addiction that are statistically significant among college students based on the gender (male, female) variable. Additionally, for the advantage of men over women that depending on the specialization (scientific versus human), there is a difference in the statistical significance of Internet addiction among college students, with the human specialization having a greater tendency to become addicted to the Internet than the scientific specialization. Numerous recommendations and proposals were made by the research, the most significant of which is the requirement that educational seminars be held for youth to introduce them to the possible consequences of Internet addiction and all of its physical, psychological, social, and academic dimensions.
