Yeshiva University’s specialization in quantitative finance, based in New York City, is your opportunity to master mathematical modeling, financial econometrics and data science. What sets Yeshiva University apart from traditional quantitative finance degrees is its home in the MS in Quantitative Economics (MQE). As a student in both programs, you’ll graduate with a solid grounding in the theoretical and practical economic foundations that shape global economies and markets.

Mathematicians are trained to analyze data and apply mathematical and statistical techniques to solve real-world problems in business, engineering, healthcare, or other fields. They typically work in teams with other professionals to develop models, interpret data, make projections, solve optimization problems. Interdisciplinary skills, such as in physics, economics, computer science, or biology, can be helpful in applying mathematics to other fields.  

Careers in mathematics are among the best jobs of tomorrow, in terms of income, growth outlook, and environmental factors. Mathematicians have experienced an ever-increasing number of job postings in the recent years. Graduates with a strong mathematics background are necessary in pretty much every industry and sub-discipline. Tech firms increasingly rely on mathematicians for cutting-edge projects such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Yeshiva College offers courses in studio arts (drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture), art history, architectural history, and architectural theory and design.

Courses in studio arts explore practical, structural, and creative ideas in visual media.

Courses in art history and architectural history study the visual arts in their historical context. Students examine each work not only for its intrinsic aesthetic appeal, but also for a perspective into artistic schools and movements, artist careers, and larger social and cultural issues within intellectual history.

The Chemistry Department at Yeshiva College offers a rigorous program of study and encourages undergraduate students to engage in research during the academic year and summer to work one-on-one with our faculty members.

Chemistry is vital for students interested in medical and health-related careers, which are based on knowledge of the chemical sciences. It is also ideal for students interested in a broad, liberal arts education, with an emphasis on understanding the nature and interactions of the chemicals that make up the world.

The field of chemistry can lead to careers in research and teaching, medicine and health sciences, and industry and private service. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries provide opportunities for applied chemical research. Medicine and health-science fields emphasize the biologic aspects of advances in chemistry. 

Physician Assistants (PAs) are medical professionals who diagnose disease, develop and implement treatment plans, perform surgical procedures, prescribe medications and often serve as a patient’s principal healthcare provider. PAs complete thousands of hours of medical training to become versatile and collaborative clinicians. They practice nationwide, improving patient access to high-quality healthcare in medical and surgical settings.

Highlights:

• Prepare for your professional practice in state-of-the-art virtual cadaver and simulation laboratories.
• Master diagnostic and patient-care skills in top-tier, physical diagnosis and clinical skills laboratories.
• Participate in interprofessional training opportunities with students and faculty from diverse health science backgrounds.
• Study with expert clinicians during 50 weeks of medical and surgical clerkship rotations.
• Explore your personal clinical interests during 10 weeks of elective rotations.
• Network with leaders in the health professions at state and national conferences.

At the Master of Arts level, we provide students with broad and intensive training in their fields of study. The MA program appeals to individuals in all walks of life who strive to enhance their Jewish learning through a rigorous and stimulating program.

The MA degree is offered in the following areas of concentration: Modern Jewish History

The program is structured to appeal to men and women (40 percent of our current student body is female) who strive to enhance their Jewish learning through a rigorous and stimulating program. Whether you want to continue professionally in fields such as law or business, enter into more traditional areas like Jewish education or Jewish communal service, or pursue the degree out of intellectual curiosity and personal interest, the program is for those who want to be challenged and inspired.

Physics explores the natural world and applies the findings to improve human life. Advances in physics lead to new technologies. Students in physics at Yeshiva College acquire mathematical skills and ways of thinking that support success in many careers. Many of our physics graduates have gone on to earn graduate degrees in physics and engineering. Many others have succeeded in jobs such as law, medicine, engineering, business and finance. The Department of Physics has state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for introductory and advanced experiments in mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, lasers, electronics, quantum and nuclear physics. A weekly colloquium brings physicists from all over the world to present and discuss their research.

The study of philosophy is significant to all who wish to live in a reflective and critical manner. At Yeshiva College, courses in philosophy cover the full range of historical periods. Students closely study many of the classic texts in the field, examine differing areas of philosophical inquiry, and learn rigorous methods of argument. Issues that affect our daily lives are central to philosophical inquiry and analysis: ethics, morality, the nature of knowledge and meaning, the character of the world, freedom, justice, and much more. Philosophy explores fundamental problems of human existence. Virtually every area of human activity—art, science, religion, politics—generates questions and ideas that call for philosophical reflection. As Socrates taught, the unexamined life is not worth living. Philosophy is a discipline unique in its methods and subject matter. Studying its sources and mastering its methods are invaluable in your general undergraduate education. You will learn to analyze complex ideas carefully and clearly; to eschew vague, impressionistic thinking in favor of critical, rigorous, precise reflection; to read with care, curiosity and wonder; to write in an organized and persuasive fashion.

The philosophy program at Yeshiva College attempts to strike a balance between courses that discuss the history of philosophy (that is major thinkers and movements) and courses that cover particular areas and specific problems. Interdisciplinary courses probe the interface of philosophy with other fields, including religious thought, political theory and literature. Some of these courses provide perspectives unavailable at any other college. The Colloquium seminar concentrates in depth on such issues as free will and contemporary ethical and political philosophy.

Yeshiva College students are singularly suited and uniquely challenged to study Tanakh intensively while bringing to bear the breadth of knowledge gained from a liberal arts education. At Yeshiva College, Bible is a multidimensional discipline. It begins with an effort to understand the Bible in its historical context, as illuminated by the history of the Ancient Near East and its linguistic and physical culture. It continues with the study of the Bible as it has been read and interpreted throughout Jewish history, from second temple texts to the rabbis of the Talmud to the classical medieval commentators, down to the present. The Yeshiva College Bible faculty, immersed in traditional approaches and trained in contemporary scholarship, brings these mutually enriching aspects of the study of Tanakh together in a fashion rarely available elsewhere.
