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's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in New York City offers rigorous undergraduate programs designed to immerse students in the molecular sciences. The curriculum blends foundational knowledge with significant opportunities for hands-on undergraduate research, fostering analytical and critical thinking skills. Students benefit from a supportive environment characterized by close faculty mentorship and interaction. This comprehensive approach prepares graduates exceptionally well for advanced studies in graduate and professional schools across various scientific disciplines, as well as for diverse career paths in the chemical industry, healthcare, environmental science, and other related fields, leveraging well-equipped laboratory facilities.
