Undergraduate Major
Students interested in an engineering career have the option of majoring in pre-engineering or choosing from a variety of related majors including chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics.
The pre-engineering major, in connection with an undergraduate engineering degree and minor, additions is also considered excellent preparation for graduate or professional study in fields such as applied mathematics, applied physics, law, medicine, and math/science education.
Joint Programs with Columbia University
The University offers combined programs with Columbia University.
Under the BA/BS plan, a student who attends Yeshiva University and fulfills all requirements for graduation aside from the total number of credits can apply to Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science as a junior.
If accepted by Columbia University, the student attends Columbia University for two additional years and, upon successful completion of the program, Yeshiva University confers the Bachelor of Arts degree and Columbia University confers the Bachelor of Science degree.
If the student were not accepted to Columbia University Engineering, he can finish a Pre-engineering degree at Yeshiva University.
This degree allows the student to enter the job market or pursue a MS in engineering.
Under the BA/MS plan, any student who graduates from Yeshiva College with an appropriate major will be automatically considered for admission to the master's program in engineering at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science despite not having earned a B.S.

Welcome to the Department of Sociology at Yeshiva College.
The Sociology Department offers both a major and a minor in sociology, as well as a correlate minor in public health.
A sociology degree is excellent preparation for graduate study or a career in law, criminal justice, social work, research, public administration, business, medicine, counseling, health care management or other service professions.
What Is Sociology?
From the American Sociological Association:

"Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts.
Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports.
In fact, few fields have such broad scope and relevance for research, theory, and application of knowledge.
"Because sociology addresses the most challenging issues of our time, it is a rapidly expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create programs.
Sociologists understand social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces for social change and resistance, and how social systems work."
Mission Statement

The Sociology Department at Yeshiva College strives to provide students with rigorous and intellectually grounded understandings of the social and cultural world.
At its core, the sociological mission is rooted in social and cultural (including anthropological) theory and the scientific method.
Sociology majors and other students taking our courses are given opportunities to develop theoretical and analytical skills to evaluate and conduct social research and analysis.
The Department is committed to using these tools to understand and address social problems and inequalities in global, institutional, cultural, and interpersonal social relations.
Students are also encouraged to explore their own position in and relationship to society and culture.
The Department is dedicated to building sociological knowledge and skills that are applicable to a broad range of settings including the public and private sectors, and especially, in the pursuit of advanced academic and professional degrees.
Our hope is that graduates will be well equipped to be engaged citizens in an increasingly knowledge-intensive and diverse world.
