�ۿ۴�ýis consistently recognized as a top-tier academic institution, a status that is showcased in its dramatic rise in the U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges Rankings, which is up 29 spots in the last two years, from 97 to 68. Once on campus, students can take up a rigorous course of study in a wide range of fields, from delving into the Torah and other key texts of Judaism to exploring cutting-edge research in business, entrepreneurship, psychology, pre-medicine, cybersecurity, history and much more. For example, �ۿ۴�ý’s B.S. in Computer Science features an innovative curriculum that is tailormade for students to step out of the program and walk into top-shelf  jobs at Google, Apple, Meta and other employers in the New Economy. �ۿ۴�ýcontinues to create dynamic new programs, including dual degree opportunities in Israel, programs with internships at real-world companies and a growing number of minors, to help students find the academic course of study that is right for them. Thanks to the continued success of the Rise Up Campaign, �ۿ۴�ýhas also been able to increase its scholarship programs to ensure greater affordability to its growing student body. Both in value and values, �ۿ۴�ýpresents a priceless educational opportunity that is driving more and more students to make �ۿ۴�ýtheir home. Central to YU’s stellar student undergraduate experience is the exposure to great Torah faculty. �ۿ۴�ý is the proud home of world-class Roshei Yeshiva, Poskim and Torah educators who regularly interact with and teach undergrads. The depth and breadth of YU’s Torah faculty is unrivaled; whatever the student’s level of study or area of Judaic interest, there is a warm and caring teacher ready to provide individual attention. This is important for all students but especially for those returning from intensive Torah study in Israel. �ۿ۴�ýprovides them with unique learning and growth opportunities so they can continue to progress in their religious studies and Jewish lives. Warm, welcoming, diverse and inclusive, �ۿ۴�ýalso has an enriching student life that gives students a close-knit sense of community. Over 150 student-run organizations and clubs allow students to get involved in politics, Holocaust education, journalism, medical ethics, music, the arts and many other extra-curricular activities.

YU’s support network ensures that students are put on the path to finding great jobs and impactful careers.
