Hooray for the Graduates

In 1971, Touro College welcomed its first class of 35 students in Midtown Manhattan. Dr. Bernard Lander founded the school to focus on higher education for the Jewish community. Over the last five decades, the school has grown to serve a widely diverse population of over 19,000 students across 35 schools in four countries.

From liberal arts to law, health sciences to technology, business, Jewish studies, education—and everything in between—Touro provides educational opportunities and career paths to not only the most talented and motivated students, but also those who have been overlooked and underserved, but who have the drive and potential to succeed.
