Our undergraduate schools combine rigorous academics, unsurpassed Jewish studies and a nurturing Jewish environment.

The Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program at Yeshiva College, the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Pro gram at Stern College and the honors courses at Sy Syms School of Business stress the intellectual development and cultural enrichment of outstanding students. Many opportunities exist for internships and research. Joint and combined programs offer advanced degrees at one of Yeshiva University’s graduate schools or other top institutions. They cover engineering (with Columbia University and SUNY Stony Brook), occupational therapy (with Columbia University), Jewish education (with Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration), Jewish studies (with Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies), law (with Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law), optometry (with State University of New York College 4 of Optometry), physical therapy (with New York Medical College’s Graduate School of Health Sciences and the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey), podiatry (with New York College of Podiatric Medicine), social work (with Wurzweiler School of Social Work), nursing (with Johns Hopkins University), physician assistant studies (with Mercy College) and teaching math and science (with NYU Steinhardt). On the Wilf and Beren campuses, students inter act with a talented and diverse faculty. About 95 percent of full-time undergraduate faculty hold doctorates or the highest degree within their fields. Small classes encourage intellectual intimacy and creativity. Buttressing a strong faculty are the distinguished scholars, authors, artists, public officials and business leaders who interact with students in a variety of venues.
