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.
Yeshiva University is establishing its first engineering program, focusing on a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. This new initiative leverages the university's strong foundation in related fields like Computer Science and Physics. The planned interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to equip students with rigorous technical skills, practical hands-on experience, and an understanding of the business and entrepreneurial aspects of the technology sector. Representing a significant evolution from past approaches that involved joint programs with other institutions, this emerging ECE program aims to prepare graduates for leadership and innovation in the rapidly changing technological world.
