Overview
Enrollment
Yeshiva University, established in 1886, operates multiple campuses across New York City, with its main campus located in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood. As a private Modern Orthodox Jewish institution, it combines traditional Jewish studies with comprehensive secular academic programs, making it the oldest and most prominent Jewish university in the United States. The university maintains separate undergraduate schools for men (Yeshiva College) and women (Stern College for Women), while graduate programs are coeducational. The institution is known for its strong programs in pre-medical studies, business through its Sy Syms School of Business, and law through the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Students at the undergraduate level participate in a dual curriculum that integrates Jewish studies with their chosen academic majors, with most undergraduate students residing in single-gender dormitories on or near their respective campuses.
