Yeshiva College

Yeshiva College is a community that strives for the highest ideals. From the halls of our world-renowned yeshiva to the classroom, 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 Yeshiva 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 alumni 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 Yeshiva College come from all corners of the globe to form a community characterized by commitment to Torah, curiosity, achievement, 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

You've heard about Yeshiva University, but how well do you really know us? The best aspects of the YU experience have to be experienced in person to be appreciated - the quality of our teaching, the warmth of our community, the energy of our beit midrash. Visiting our campus is the best way to get a feel for the vibrant community life and unique atmosphere of Yeshiva University. Prospective students are encouraged to explore the Women's Beren Campus in midtown Manhattan and the Men's Wilf Campus in Washington Heights. Spend some time in our classrooms. Meet our students and professors. Find out for yourself what makes a YU education an experience like no other.

Until we can physically host you we encourage you to explore Yeshiva University with a Virtual Visit!

Your virtual visit might include:

• Speaking with one of our student tour guides about campus
• Learning more about the academic and extracurricular opportunities for you at Yeshiva University with an Admissions Officer
