Yeshiva University has a long, distinguished history and record of excellence in the liberal arts, sciences, business, and Jewish studies and has been recognized by US News & World Report as one of the nation’s top 50 national research universities, along with Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Yale, Columbia, and others. 

State-of-the-art laboratories and studios throughout the University provide students with exciting research and practical experiences in such areas as computer science, astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, and the arts. 

The University’s unique dual undergraduate curriculum enables students to pursue two combined courses of academic study – a program in Jewish studies in tandem with a specialty derived from 30 majors in liberal arts, science, or business. Through thoughtful discourse, our students acquire “in-demand” abilities in critical and analytical thinking, self-expression, language competency, and research skills. A lifetime of learning and the integration of the values it instills becomes an integral part of each YU student’s personal and professional success story. 

Our graduate and professional programs in medicine, law, social work, psychology, Jewish studies, and Jewish education are among the best in the nation.
