Founded in 1928, Yeshiva College is the undergraduate college of arts and sciences for men of Yeshiva University. It is located on YU's Main Campus on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Approximately 1,100 students from 25 states and as many foreign countries, including students registered at Sy Syms School of Business, attend classes at Yeshiva College.

Students at Yeshiva College pursue a rigorous dual educational program that combines liberal arts and sciences and pre-professional studies with the study of Torah and Jewish heritage, reflecting YU's unique educational philosophy of "Torah Umadda," which translates loosely as "wisdom and knowledge."

The College provides academic majors in 20 arts and sciences disciplines, all leading to the bachelor of arts degree. In addition, combined and joint degree programs are offered in several other disciplines--including engineering, dentistry, Jewish studies, optometry, podiatry, social work, nursing and psychology--in conjunction with YU's graduate schools and other leading universities.

The Jewish studies component of the College's dual curriculum is given through four distinct programs designed to meet the needs and interests of individual students. The options range from the traditional beit midrash style of learning to more structured college-style courses.
