Institutional Aid ” Funding from the university, typically
in scholarships or graduate assistantships
Federal Aid ” Funding from the government, typically the Federal Direct Unsubsidized
Loan and the Federal Direct Graduate Plus Loan
External Funding ” Funding from a source outside of the university or government
such as a scholarship, grant or fellowship
Private Loans ” Funding, in the form of loans, that comes from non-government
sources, which you can find and apply for on your own
At YU, the funding options are primarily merit-based, partial scholarships or assistantships. This funding is available for both domestic and international students.
The specific details vary by program ” contact the admissions office for your program of interest to learn more:
Federal aid is available for domestic students (eligible US citizens and non-citizens).
To apply for federal aid, you must first submit and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year you are enrolled to receive funding.
The Department of Education requires that each university establish a cost of attendance for their programs.
The amount allotted for scholarships and other funding, internal and external scholarships, and other forms of aid, cannot exceed this amount.
Direct expenses ” tuition and university fees
Indirect expenses ” may include health insurance, supplies, transportation and other reasonable living expenses. Any loan amount, after fees, that exceeds the bill amount from the university will be issued to the student as a refund, which can be used to pay for indirect expenses.
The Yeshiva University Office of Student Finance manages the federal aid process.
This office can speak more specifically on federal financial aid and how their office works with graduate students. You can reach them at 212.960.5399.
Graduate students are eligible for two main types of federal loans:
You can borrow up to $20,500 per academic year (summer, fall, and spring). There is also a loan origination fee that is taken out of your loan from the Department of Education prior to the university's receipt of the funds. Learn more about federal loans.
Graduate Plus Loans require a credit check. You may borrow more than the amount of your university tuition and fees to cover costs such as books, lab fees, and other costs related to funding your education.
Your borrowing may not exceed the cost of attendance for direct and indirect expenses established by the university. The Graduate PLUS Loan offers a fixed annual interest rate.
If you are denied for Plus Loan due to adverse credit, you can add an endorser who is essentially a co-signer on the loan, or you can file an appeal with the Department of Education
They can inform you what needs to improve before they review your credit a second time. Typically, students obtain Graduate Plus Loans if they need to borrow more than $20,500 per year and they use GradPlus to fill the gap. There is also a loan origination fee that is taken out of your loan proceeds from the Department of Education, prior to the university's receipt of the funds. Learn more about Grad Plus Loans.
Graduate students are not eligible for Pell Grants or Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans
Get more information about federal loans, including interest rates and timelines.
The YU Office of Student Finance is notified that your loans were approved and your account will be updated to reflect the loan information.
The YU Office of Student Finance will process your financial aid, including tuition, scholarships and federal loans, and post a bill to your account.
While there is no strict deadline, we suggest you complete the FAFSA, Entrance Counseling and your Master Promissory Notes (MPNs) by March 1 to ensure you have enough time to figure out your financing before starting fall semester classes.
Note that MPNs are valid for 10 years, Entrance Counseling is completed once and the FAFSA is filed annually.
Loan repayment and forgiveness programs are ways to reduce or eliminate your student debt.
Generally, people who work in eligible public service jobs continually for ten years and make 120 consecutive loan payments may be eligible for loan forgiveness.
Please note that loan forgiveness only applied to Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, not the GradPlus Loan or private loans.
Since this loan forgiveness process is outside of YU (or any other university), you are responsible for making sure you meet the eligibility requirements, make the payments, and then apply for the loan forgiveness after 10 years. Additionally, since Congress enacted loan forgiveness, there's always a risk that it could be repealed.
External funding comes from a source outside of the university or government, such as a scholarship, grant or fellowship. These are opportunities you can find and apply for on your own.
Please note that grants may be paid to you directly and you are responsible for putting this money aside to pay your bill. You are required to report all outside aid to the Office of Student Finance.
F-1 visa holders may be eligible for Curricular Practical Training (CPT): full- or part-time work directly related to your academic program.
CPT can be paid or unpaid and must be completed while you are enrolled in your degree program. A YU-designated school official (DSO) must approve your CPT and you must submit a signed agreement from your employer.
The government, companies or other organizations within your home country may provide funding. There are also international organizations that offer financial aid to students across the globe.
Canadian students should also check with their province on availability of provincial loans and lenders on private, student lines of credit. The institution code for Yeshiva University is MWMZ.
Federal law requires that the Office of Student Finance (OSF) obtain a student's voluntary consent to participate in electronic transactions for all financial information provided or made available to student loan borrowers, and for all notices and authorizations to Federal Student Aid recipients required under 34 CFR 668.165.
This consent will allow OSF to electronically communicate important financial aid information directly to you, which may include notices, disclosures, award letters, and directions to secure websites.
Upon request, students are entitled to a paper copy of any of the information electronically communicated by OSF. To request a paper copy, or if you have any questions, please contact OSF .
If you do not complete the form below we will assume you voluntarily consent to receive the electronic communications listed above.
There are several payment options available to facilitate the payment of tuition and fees. Students may make payment in full by credit card, check, electronic checks (ACH payments) or bank wire payments
All payments and payment plan budgets need to be completed and submitted by the payment due date preceding each semester.
Your personal statement is a chance for us to learn more about you both as a person and a student. We encourage you to use this opportunity to tell us about a personal, professional or volunteer experience that inspires you or to talk about your area of focus for graduate study.
Be sure to check your program of interest for any word or page limits, and ask a friend, colleague, or family member to give it a quick review for grammar and syntax errors.
You ll need to submit transcripts from all colleges and universities where you have completed 9 or more credits. If you attended a university outside of the U.S. or English-speaking Canada, you will need to submit a course-by-course
NACES transcript evaluation which will show your coursework cumulative GPA on a 4.0 based scale as well as your degree equivalency based on U.S. standards.
While you may submit unofficial transcripts (for U.S. and English-speaking Canadian schools only) for review of your application, you will be required to submit official transcripts prior to the first day of classes.
This includes submitting final official degree conferred transcripts from anywhere you earned a degree (associate's, bachelor's, master's, etc.).
Official transcripts must be sent directly from the institution(s) where you have studied either directly by mail in a sealed envelope or securely via email.
Please refer to your admission letter for more in-depth details.
Several of our graduate programs require prerequisite courses in order to matriculate. If you did not complete the coursework during your undergraduate degree, you may be able to enroll in supplemental courses prior to the start of the academic year.
We encourage you to review the specific requirements for your program(s) of interest.
The Occupational Therapy program and Speech-Language Pathology programs also require a set number of observation or volunteer hours.
Please refer to these program pages for additional details.
If you're applying for the Occupational Therapy Doctorate or PA programs, you may be asked to complete a qualitative admissions interview after submitting your application.
These interviews provide an additional opportunity to learn about your prior experience and areas of interest for further study.
We offer multiple application deadlines over the course of the year. Some programs offer start dates in the fall, spring, and summer, while others are limited to fall enrollment.
For the best access to merit-based scholarships, we encourage you to view information on each graduate school's webpage and apply early.

Effective Fall 2021, undergraduate students who have successfully passed college-level courses while enrolled in high school may be eligible to have these credits applied toward their undergraduate program. ˘ Evaluation of these courses will be based on official college transcripts received by Yeshiva University during the student's admissions process.
(Unofficial transcripts, HS transcripts noting college credit or official transcripts provided after the start of the student's first semester will not be considered.) ˘ The course(s) must be documented in the issuing college/university's academic catalog.
A maximum of nine (9) credits may count as general electives or towards an equivalent course to students entering any of Yeshiva University's Bachelor's degree programs faculty. o A maximum of six (6) credits may count as general electives or towards an equivalent course to students pursuing an Associate's degree in the Katz School of Science and Health.
The course(s) would be considered as transfer credits and subject to all applicable Yeshiva University policies pertaining to the application of transfer credit. o Only courses with earned grades of B- or better will be considered.
Students must provide course syllabi for each course for which they are requesting transfer credit. o Grades would not be calculated as a part of the student's cumulative institutional grade point average unless they are courses delivered by Yeshiva University.
These courses would not count towards any Yeshiva University residency requirements. o This policy is effective immediately for students beginning at Yeshiva University during the fall 2021 semester and will be re-evaluated on an annual basis.
Our students study at our four campuses: Wilf Campus (500 West 185th Street), Israel Henry Beren Campus (245 Lexington Avenue) and Brookdale Center (55 Fifth Avenue) in Manhattan, and the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus in the Bronx (Eastchester Road and Morris Park Avenue).
The undergraduate schools offer a unique dual curriculum comprising Jewish studies and liberal arts and sciences courses, and our graduate and affiliate schools offer tremendous opportunities for graduate and professional studies. While part of a multifaceted University community, each school retains the intimate character of a smaller institution.
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.
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.
hrough 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.
It depends on which area of C.S. one works in. The vast majority of professional Software Engineers will use very little advanced math, or none at all, and the little math they do use is not more than what they learned in their K-12 schooling. A.I., graphics algorithms, and cryptography, for example, are all heavily mathematical, but the vast majority of Software Engineers in industry spend their time working on applications and/or infrastructure that do not involve any significant amount of math at all.
And, even within A.I. etc., a large percentage of the Software Engineers that work in those areas simply use code libraries that are built by someone else, and do not actually understand all the underlying math. To summarize: the vast majority of Software Engineers use very little math, if any.
There is no one personality, set of abilities, or interests that guarantee success or failure in C.S. Whether one is "left brained" or "right brained" is no indication - one person will approach software engineering primarily as a creative process while another will approach it primarily as an analytic process, and both are valid and powerful, depending on the exact situation.
Whether one has enjoyed or despised math in his K-12 education is not much of an indication either - aside from the fact that there are many factors that go into K-12 math going well or badly that have little to do with student ability, some parts of C.S. are highly mathematical and some parts are entirely divorced from math. The only way to know if C.S. will work for you is to try it.
Our B.S. in C.S. tracks are designed to give students the opportunity to succeed without going to graduate school.
Students in the B.A. track, however, are strongly encouraged to get at least a masters.
Many students have been in MYP, had a night seder, and completed the Distributed Systems or A.I. tracks. Having a consistent night seder does, however, require managing your time well, e.g. using your Friday, motsaei Shabbos, and Sunday afternoon wisely.
This is no different than continuing to learn throughout the rest of your life - the choices you make when it comes to priorities and time management will greatly impact how much time you have for learning.
You do not need a minor to get a good C.S. job in any industry. Smart companies hire the best software engineers they can find and are more than happy to teach those software engineers on the job what they need to know about the business/industry.
From the perspective of getting a good C.S. job, the best thing you can do in your "copious free time" is build some software that 1) does something that you find interesting, useful, or important 2) is not required by your C.S. courses and 3) you can explain on an interview why you were motivated to build specifically that and how you did.
Then create a public GitHub repository, push the code there, and include a link to it on your resume. If there are courses offered that are relevant to what you'd like to accomplish in life personally or professionally, you should take those courses, but you should not think that having a minor per se on your resume is necessary for your career.
It is a much better use of your time to think through how to develop yourself into the person and/or professional you want to be, and take the courses (or pursue activities outside the classroom) that will give you the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual tools to get there.
The study of Tanakh is central to Judaism.
he Bible and its interpretative afterlife have much to contribute to our understanding of the many ways in which Jews and Jewish texts have interacted with the rest of the world, from biblical through modern times.
