Our undergraduate programs are grounded in best practices in developmental, experiential, and student-centered education; our associates degree in particular has the potential to define national models for 2-year college programs. The program director will spearhead efforts including curriculum development, faculty recruitment, advisement, and other strategic administrative work. In addition, the program director will have the opportunity to collaborate with academic leaders from across YU’s undergraduate and graduate schools (e.g., Yeshiva College, Stern College, Sy Syms School of Business, Wurzweiler School of Social Work, and Cardozo School of Law). Yeshiva University is a nationally-ranked, Top 100 university by USNews.
