Yeshiva University is a private Orthodox Jewish university with four campuses in New York City. The university's undergraduate schools—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, Katz School of Science and Health, and Sy Syms School of Business—offer a dual curriculum inspired by Modern/Centrist Orthodox Judaism's hashkafa (philosophy) of Torah Umadda ("Torah and secular knowledge"), combining academic education with the study of the Torah. While the majority of students at the university identify as Modern Orthodox, many students, especially at the Cardozo School of Law, the Sy Syms School of Business, and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, are not Jewish.
The Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration at Yeshiva University stands as a premier international center dedicated to preparing skilled Jewish educators and administrators. Situated on the university's campuses in New York City, the school uniquely blends sacred Jewish traditions with modern educational disciplines and leadership best practices. It focuses on equipping students with the knowledge and pedagogical skills necessary to effectively transmit Jewish heritage while understanding contemporary learning processes. Offering a range of graduate programs including Master's, Doctoral, and certificate options, Azrieli is committed to advancing the field of Jewish education and training leaders who will inspire future generations within Jewish institutions globally.
