Stern College for Women

Stern College for Women is a community that strives for the highest ideals. Whether in the classroom, the study halls of Torah, the library, the laboratory, the art or music studio, the gymnasium or athletic field, the synagogue, or out in the community and the world at large, students at Stern College find their voices and their missions. 

Our world-class faculty is committed to fostering our students’ pursuit of knowledge in the broadest sense—through both expansive study of classical Jewish texts, as well as deep, open-ended inquiry in the sciences, social and behavioral sciences, arts, and humanities. 

Our graduates achieve placement in top-tier graduate schools and experience outstanding professional success. Yet they also gain the understanding that professional placement is only one part of a life, rooted in the ideals and practices of Torah, that includes the continuous search for wisdom, dedicated civic engagement, and a responsibility for the good of humanity.

Students at Stern College for Women come from all corners of the globe to form a community characterized by curiosity, achievement, commitment to Torah, and a deep sense of purpose. They grow into leaders who help bring redemption to the world. 

If these lofty ideals speak to you, please join us! We look forward to welcoming you here.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Cypess
