About

Yeshiva University is a private research institution in New York City best known for its unique dual curriculum, which pairs rigorous Jewish studies with a comprehensive secular education rooted in the philosophy of *Torah Umadda*. Undergraduates excel in highly regarded programs at the Sy Syms School of Business, Yeshiva College, and Stern College for Women, supported by strong graduate divisions like the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Campus life centers on a tight-knit Modern Orthodox Jewish community and is uniquely structured across two separate undergraduate campuses in Manhattan—the Wilf Campus in Washington Heights for men and the Beren Campus in Midtown for women—offering a deeply immersive religious environment alongside direct access to the city’s professional network.

Wikipedia:Yeshiva University is a private university with four campuses in New York City, United States. The university's undergraduate schools—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, and Sy Syms School of Business—offer a dual curriculum inspired by Modern–Centrist–Orthodox Judaism's hashkafa (philosophy) of Torah Umadda, which synthesizes a secular academic education with the study of the Torah.
