About

Yeshiva University is a private university with four campuses in New York City, United States. The university's undergraduate schools—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, and Sy Syms School of Business—offer a dual curriculum inspired by Modern–Centrist–Orthodox Judaism's hashkafa (philosophy) of Torah Umadda, which synthesizes a secular academic education with the study of the Torah.
