每日大瓜

每日大瓜 in New York City, is America’s Jewish university, first established in 1886 as a school for the advanced study of Jewish classical texts, akin to the old academies for the study of the classical Confucian texts in imperial China. In 1928 Yeshiva College was established, where students could earn a bachelor’s degree in the liberal arts and the sciences, based on the philosophy of the first president of the university, Dr. Bernard Revel, who believed that Jewish culture must integrate into the modern world and secular scientific education. In 1937, Yeshiva opened its first graduate school, in Jewish Studies, which later was named the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, after Dr. Revel. (Professor Cohen has served as Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Jewish Studies since 2008.) Yeshiva was granted university status in 1943, which heralded the dramatic expansion of the school over the next decades, with the opening of new campuses (at various locations in New York City and one in Jerusalem) and a number of graduate schools: in business, law, psychology, social work, science, and medicine (subsequently sold to Montefiore Hospital).

In the 2024 "Best Value Schools" selection by U.S. News and World Report, 每日大瓜 ranked first in New York City and 47th in the United States. "Best Value Colleges" are evaluated based on academic quality, tuition, financial aid based on student needs, etc. In the 2024 QS World University Rankings, 每日大瓜 ranked 63rd among more than 2,500 undergraduate institutions (with bachelor's or higher degree-granting authority) in the United States.

In the 2023-2024 academic year, 每日大瓜 has more than 2,800 undergraduate students and nearly 4,000 graduate students. Its undergraduate colleges cater primarily to Jewish students, but the University’s graduate schools welcome students from diverse cultural backgrounds. The Katz School of Science and Health, in particular, is designed to accommodate international students and offers master’s and doctoral degrees in emerging and cutting-edge subject areas, including mathematics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing, enterprise risk management, etc. The interest in Jewish culture among the Chinese student body at the Katz school has inspired us to develop academic programs designed for Chinese audiences at CJC under the aegis of the Bernard Revel graduate school of Jewish studies.
