Yeshiva University

Yeshiva University is a private university in New York City, with six campuses in New York and one in Israel. Founded in 1886, it is a research university not ranked in the Shangai ranking.

Yeshiva University’s undergraduate schools—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, and Syms School of Business— "offer a unique dual curriculum inspired by Modern-Centrist-Orthodox Judaism's hashkafa (philosophy) of Torah Umadda ("Torah and secular knowledge") combining the finest, contemporary academic education with the timeless teachings of Torah.”

Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and other graduate and professional schools promote a “dual emphasis on professional excellence and personal ethics.”

Yeshiva University is an independent institution chartered by New York State.[citation needed] It is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and by several professional agencies.
