Touro College is a private Jewish-affiliated institution located in Manhattan's Financial District, with additional campuses and locations throughout New York City's five boroughs. Founded in 1970 by Rabbi Dr. Bernard Lander, the college was established to strengthen Jewish heritage while providing professional and secular education to the broader community. The institution operates as part of the larger Touro University System, offering undergraduate and graduate programs across multiple disciplines, with particular emphasis on health sciences, education, business, and technology. Touro maintains strong ties to the Orthodox Jewish community while serving a diverse student population, providing separate men's and women's divisions in several of its programs to accommodate religious observance. The college utilizes an urban campus model, with academic buildings and facilities integrated throughout the city, and while student housing is limited, the institution primarily serves commuter students from the greater New York metropolitan area.
