Yeshiva University brings wisdom to life for undergraduate students by combining the finest, contemporary academic education with the timeless teachings of Torah. It is Yeshiva’s unique dual curriculum, which teaches knowledge enlightened by values, that helps students gain the wisdom to make their lives both a secular and spiritual success.
Yeshiva University also brings wisdom to life for graduate students by not only teaching the knowledge and skills to be highly accomplished scholars and professionals, but by teaching the ethical and moral values that will make them truly admirable people. It is the dual emphasis on professional excellence and personal ethics that gives our graduate students the wisdom to succeed in both their professions and their lives.
Yeshiva University helps professors bring their own wisdom to life by providing the encouragement, resources and intellectual freedom to pursue their own academic ideals. And they, in turn, share their wisdom with the students, society and the world at large.
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 Yeshiva University provide students with exciting research and practical experiences in such areas as computer science, astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, and the arts.
Living and studying in the cultural capital of the world is an invaluable enhancement to any education. New York and its five boroughs offer experiences unlike any other city in the world: from Carnegie Hall to Yankee Stadium; from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Empire State Building; from the Lower East Side to the Upper West Side; from Harlem to Wall Street.
New York has been called a laboratory of humanity. The plethora of kosher restaurants, synagogues, and Jewish culture also make New York City an ideal setting for the country's premiere Jewish university.
Yeshiva University offers student housing at the Beren (women) or Wilf (men) college. In dorms at the Wilf College, each student with furniture—bed, desk, chair, bookcase—and closet space. Each room is equipped with a sink, medicine chest, and wastebasket.
At Beren, each floor and building constitutes a unique community; anything that has an impact on the welfare of that community is of concern to the staff. The members of the Residence Life team are available to help students navigate college life and dormitory living. They are accessible to meet with students individually to discuss any problems or concerns that may arise.
