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.
Located in New York City, Yeshiva University's Physics Department, housed within Yeshiva College, offers students a comprehensive education grounded in the fundamental principles of the universe. The program provides undergraduate majors in Physics, Physical Science, and Pre-Engineering, plus a Physics minor, emphasizing both theoretical and experimental physics. Students gain robust analytical and problem-solving skills, preparing them effectively for graduate studies, engineering cooperative programs, and a wide range of careers in science, technology, finance, and medicine. Fostering a supportive learning environment with close faculty interaction, the department also offers a Master of Arts in Physics through the Katz School, specializing in cutting-edge areas like quantum information and materials behavior.
