Through writing we develop as thinkers—critical, analytic, and synthetic—as we actively absorb, engage, question, and participate in the world. Crafting and making our own choices about language, we become increasingly alert to how words both succeed and fail in work, politics, relationships and society.
We learn that words are prismatic, reflect multiple meanings and experiences, not only our own but also those of others radically unlike us. And we discover ourselves by trying to put introspection as well as reflection into words.
As students of words, we learn about a vast range of human possibilities, and we valorize a vast range of human experiences. In doing so we align, compare, and contrast ourselves with countless others who have inscribed human life in language through the centuries.
The Writing Minor at Yeshiva College recognizes that proficiency in writing will prove advantageous for any major, for any career, and for the career change most educated people make from time to time. The minor will help any student express himself in the present and prepare for any future, whether in graduate or professional school, as a professional writer, or during almost any other type of work.
Learning Goals
The goals of the Creative Writing Minor are to enable each student who successfully completes it to:

Develop into an effective, confident creative and/or expository writer, reviser, and editor;
Develop a substantial repertoire of strategies for invention, writing, and revision;
Apply interpretive skills to writing so that "reading" and "writing" will reinforce one another 
Develop one or more voices and a sense of authorship;
Write for various audiences in various genres (e.g., fiction, poetry, playwriting, screenwriting, creative nonfiction);
Practice and appreciate writing as art, craft, rhetoric, and as application of ideas about writing; and
Enhance his enjoyment of writing. Program Information

"The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed, the world is ruled by little else."
—John Maynard Keynes

"The man of the future is the man of statistics and the master of economics." —Oliver Wendell Holmes

The study of economics helps students develop analytical tools to understand how modern economies allocate scarce resources to produce goods and services and how economic performance is affected by policies, technology, and institutions.
It also provides students with a rigorous way of thinking about individual, business, and household decision-making. Basic Track
This track of the Economics major provides ideal training for those interested in law, business, journalism, or public policy.
Mathematical Economics Track
This track further prepares students for graduate studies in economics (including YU's own Masters in Quantitative Economics program) and for careers in quantitative fields such as finance and consulting. The economics minor complements many majors including mathematics, other social sciences, physics, and pre-engineering.
For non-majors, the introductory sequence of microeconomics and macroeconomics is an essential component of a liberal arts education and provides the background for a wide array of electives.

This course is an overview of the theory of financial markets from an economic perspective. The objective is to understand how social interaction in financial markets brings about opportunities for individuals but also risks which go beyond physical or technological uncertainty and create systemic effects on economic and financial variables.
The major conceptual tool that we will use to study these phenomena is the notion of economic equilibrium. Our analysis of finance uses the modern theory of microeconomics.
It aims at constructing (relatively simple) mathematical models to study the welfare properties of financial markets, and the implications for asset prices. Prerequisites: ECO 1101, ECO 1201, MAT 1412, or permission of instructor.
ECO 2801 Auctions and Market Design
3 credits
This course aims to introduce classical findings and recent developments in the theory of market design. The course basically consists of two parts.
The first half covers auctions, first the classical theory of auctions in a stylized environment, followed by observation of what kinds of practical and theoretical difficulties arise and how successfully current attempts deal with these difficulties. The second part of the course covers matching and related issues.
We start from the matching problem (a.k.a. the marriage problem) and its solution concept, stable matching.
We then extend the concept of stability to many-to-one and many-to-many matching with contracts. After reviewing the applications of stable matching, we compare it with alternative approaches, such as top trading cycles.
We discuss applications including medical residency match, school choice, course allocation, and kidney exchange. The last few classes will be an overview of some recent developments in the theory of market design, mostly in the context of matching.

Students who study in the Yeshiva College English Department gain direct, intimate access to other cultures and time periods, through encounters with works from classical Greece, medieval Europe, and Victorian Britain to U.S. and world literature of the present.
At the same time, students develop both analytically and creatively as writers and thinkers, learning to express themselves with clarity and power. In engaging us with a range of forms — poetry, fiction, nonfiction, drama, film, as well as the genres of the Internet age — English courses enlarge our vision of the complexity and richness of human achievements and how we might contribute to them ourselves.
These are strengths prized in a wide variety of professions. As a number of articles in the mainstream press and more specialized publications have recently argued, skills developed in literature and writing courses yield advantages not only in the fields of teaching, publishing, and journalism but also in any profession in which critical thinking, analysis, and the ability to communicate effectively are vital.
YC English majors have gone on to such careers as business, medicine, and law as well as television production, filmmaking, and urban planning. While at YC, English majors join a community.
From their initial work together in Interpreting Texts, our gateway course, each cohort of majors embarks on a shared intellectual journey that culminates in the Senior Colloquium, a yearlong discussion in which students join with English Department faculty members to learn from each other. Whether you pursue an English major or minor or our Writing minor, you will come together with faculty and other students over text as a source of lifelong intellectual engagement, and of surprise and wonder.
Please click here for the mission of and goals for the Writing Minor and here for information about our new Media Studies Minor. Mission Statement
The English Department’s mission is to teach the forms, traditions, theories, and practices foundational to contemporary literary studies, as well as the skills and habits of mind necessary for interpreting, analyzing, and creating texts; to develop “a disposition, a habit, a way of being in the world of words” (Derek Attridge).
In mentoring sophisticated readers of text and of culture—from classical Greece to medieval Europe to the U.S. of the Internet era; from Victorian Britain to the postcolonial Caribbean—we seek to enlarge students’ understanding of themselves and of those who are different from them, to broaden their sense of intellectual citizenship. And in training them as writers, the Department seeks to develop students’ creative as well as analytical skills, and their ability to express themselves with clarity and power in a complex modern world.
Student Learning Goals
Hone reasoned and compelling critical analysis skills 
Learn a wide range of literary traditions and forms, and build awareness of the changing contexts of literary production. Reflect meaningfully upon their own cultural histories and values, as well as the cultures and values of others.
Connect with others effectively through written and verbal communication. For more information about the English Department at Yeshiva College, please contact Professor Paula Geyh at geyh@yu.edu or 212.960-5400 ext.

History at YU
History is not like any other major or discipline. It is not a skill to be acquired or a problem to be solved.
It is our story, the collective tale of humanity. We study history to understand how our world came to be what it is, and how we came to be ourselves.
We have learned that there are many ways to interpret a single event, many voices telling the same story through their own words. Historians rediscover and reanimate these voices and use them to construct narratives by which our present society better understands the past.
Although we recognize there is no single dominant narrative, no absolute “truth,” we know that history and fable are not synonymous. As instructors, we instill the same skillset in our students that we use ourselves: critical reasoning, intellectual curiosity, the ability to construct a viable argument from researched sources, and the confidence to defend it successfully in any forum.
These skills have many uses, both inside and outside academia. Students trained in history are often best poised for careers in the law and public service, or any job that requires an ability to reason and a capacious understanding of the world.
Those who pursue teaching careers, either in secondary or postgraduate education, will leave Yeshiva University with a solid foundation in all core subject areas of history, and the academic training needed to excel in graduate school. Our department is committed to the intellectual development of every student we teach, regardless of major or career path.
Come and let us share the past with you. Mission Statement
The Robert Beren Department of History at Yeshiva University seeks to instill each student with a comprehensive understanding of the past, both in its own context and how it informs the present.
Through small, interactive colloquia, instructors introduce students to the complex and often competing narratives of world history, inviting them to examine sources objectively and formulate their own conclusions as to meaning. Our courses cover a broad range of historical fields, with particular strengths in the history of Jews and Judaism.
Specific topics include: Roman Emperors; Renaissance and Reformation; History of the Book; US Presidents; History of Piracy; Legal History; Modern Russia; Social Movements; History of the Jerusalem Temple; the Talmudic Rabbis; Medieval Jewish History; Jews in the New World; the Jewish Experience in Europe; The Holocaust; and History of Modern Israel. In moving across chronological divisions and geographic boundaries, the History curriculum is designed to provide foundational knowledge while encouraging independent thought.
Through written work and lively class discussion, students acquire the ability to craft a persuasive argument and present it cogently to their peers. More importantly, they gain an awareness of the vast richness of the human experience, and their own role as citizens, scholars, and members of the global community.
Advanced students may participate in graduate courses in the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, and are invited to consider the joint BA/MA program in Jewish Studies. Program Student Learning Goals
Understanding how historians gather, interpret and analyze source material and how they construct a narrative from that material.
Demonstrating awareness of the variety of the human experience across space and time. Creating and communicating their own narratives of historical analysis in clear, concise prose.

Jewish History Courses
JHI Courses Spring 2022: Yeshiva College

JHIS Courses Spring 2022: Stern College The minimal understanding of the ideal of Torah Umadda is the pursuit of the study of Torah along with secular disciplines, but the highest form of this ideal is a level of integration in which each pursuit enriches the other.
Such enrichment can take place with respect to virtually all fields, but there is no area where the interaction is as intimate and potentially rewarding as in the use of the tools of the academy to enhance one's understanding of the Jewish heritage itself. This explains the substantial Jewish Studies requirement in the college curriculum, and it also means that the Jewish Studies major or minor should evoke serious interest on the part of any student whose decision to attend YU is rooted in the desire to attain a broad and sophisticated appreciation of Judaism and the Jewish people.
Courses in Bible, Jewish History, and Jewish Philosophy and Thought are taught by members of the Department of Bible, Hebrew, and Near Eastern Studies and the Robert M. Beren Department of History. A student majoring in Jewish Studies may choose a concentration in any of these disciplines.
Courses in Jewish Studies serve two main sets of stakeholders: the general Yeshiva College student population and majors in Jewish Studies. Its mission to all Yeshiva College students is to educate them regarding Jewish civilization from biblical times through the present and to develop their appreciation for the contexts in which Judaism arose and developed.
For majors, its mission is to develop their facility with primary and secondary sources and their independent research skills, and thus prepare them to pursue graduate-level degrees in Jewish Studies. Undergraduates who have completed their core course in a particular discipline (JHI, JTP, BIB) are eligible to request permission to take a course in that discipline at the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies.
The Revel course can be counted as elective credit towards the completion of the undergraduate Jewish Studies requirement. Students must obtain the requisite form from the Office of the Deans and have it signed by the instructor of the Revel course to which they wish to gain admission, the chair of the Yeshiva College Jewish studies department and the associate dean of Yeshiva College.
Students must then submit the form to the dean of Revel for final approval. Undergraduates who wish to register for a Revel course must be either a Junior with a 3.4 GPA or a Senior with a 3.0 GPA (and a 3.2 in Jewish Studies) and must complete the Request to Take Graduate Course for Undergraduate Credit form.
