Yeshiva Credits

Students may earn up to 48 college credits for post-high school yeshiva studies, pursued in Israel or in the United States, at Lander College for Men or elsewhere. Students earn further credits for studies in Beis Medrash L’Talmud. Students participating in the Touro College Israel Option Progam may earn up to 32 credits for one year of study in yeshivos in Israel.  Students may also earn up to 12 credits for a full second year of study in Israel, or up to 6 credits for one semester.

To receive transfer credits, students must submit to the College an official yeshiva transcript with grades for evaluation. No credit will be given for courses completed with a grade below C. Students are typically limited to a maximum load of 18 credits per semester. The awarding of credit for yeshiva studies is based solely on College academic policies. The credit values assigned to courses by the College might not coincide with the credit values listed on a yeshiva transcript.
