Now in its second century, Yeshiva University ranks among the nation’s leading academic research institutions. It embraces the heritage of the best of western civilization, along with the ancient traditions of Jewish law and life.

YU's undergraduate schools and divisions include Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, and Sy Syms School of Business. And together with its graduate and affiliated schools—Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration, Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, and Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary—the university embraces knowledge in the arts, sciences, and professions, as well as the breadth and richness of Jewish culture and thought.

In Sept. 2003, Richard M. Joel was invested as Yeshiva University's fourth president, succeeding Norman Lamm, who held the office since 1976. President Joel's two other predecessors were Bernard Revel, president from 1915 until his death in 1940, and Samuel Belkin, who served from 1943 until his death 33 years later.

The university conducts academic and scientific research, issues publications, and sponsors service and outreach projects. The Yeshiva University Museum forms an important part of the university mosaic, with exhibits and teaching activities that chronicle Jewish life through art, architecture, history, and culture.

Nearly 7,000 students, including 2,798 undergraduates, from 38 states and 55 countries, study at YU's four campuses: the Wilf Campus, the Israel Henry Beren Campus, and Brookdale Center in Manhattan, and the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus in the Bronx.

They are taught by 4,714 full- and part-time faculty and have access to six major libraries. More than 600 young men and women each year study in Israel under the university's S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program. Through June 2003, the university awarded 56,921 degrees and diplomas. The university's 50,000 alumni have achieved professional success and made significant contributions to society and the Jewish community. They serve, lead, and inspire by example--testament to the university's greatest resource, its students and faculty.
