School Description

Provided by Touro College-New York

Touro College is an independent institution of higher and professional education under Jewish sponsorship, established to perpetuate and enrich the Jewish heritage, to support Jewish continuity, as well as to serve the general community in keeping with the Judaic commitment to intellectual inquiry and social justice.

The Jewish heritage embraces two fundamental components reflected in Hillel’s historic dictum, “If we are not for ourselves, who will be? If we are concerned only with ourselves, what are we?” This seminal teaching shapes the core values of the college.

Touro College’s mission commits the college to multiple constituencies. In adherence to the particularistic aspect of the mission, Touro offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Jewish studies and liberal arts and sciences serving the diverse components of the Jewish community. In consonance with the universalistic aspect of the mission, the college supports underserved members of the broader community with neighborhood-based undergraduate programs. As an institution serving the general community in all its diversity, Touro College offers professional and graduate programs in such areas as education, law, medicine, allied health sciences, and business. Throughout its various programs, Touro College emphasizes academic achievement and quality in the context of a supportive and caring environment.

Touro College-New York

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Touro College is a Jewish-sponsored independent institution of higher and professional education, in New York City, New York, United States. Founded by Dr. Bernard Lander, the College was established primarily to enrich the Jewish heritage, and to serve the larger American community. Over 23,651 students are currently enrolled in the various schools and divisions of Touro College.

History

Touro College was chartered by New York State in 1970. In 1971 the College opened with a class of 35 Liberal Arts and Sciences students. Since its inception, the College has demonstrated significant growth. A Women’s Division was added to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Schools of General Studies, Law and Health Sciences, as well as three osteopathic medical schools in California, Nevada, and New York were subsequently organized. The College organized sister institutions in Germany (Berlin), Italy, Israel and Russia (when it was part of the Soviet Union). The School for Lifelong Education, offering a non-traditional mentored-based program, was organized in Fall 1989.

The College takes its name from Judah Touro and Isaac Touro, Jewish community leaders of colonial America, who represent the ideals upon which the College bases its mission. Inspired by the democratic ethos enunciated by founding US President George Washington at Newport, Rhode Island when he visited the Touro Synagogue in 1790, the Touro family provided major endowments for universities, the first free library on the North American continent, community health facilities in the United States, and pioneering settlements in Israel. Touro College is currently working on their medical school in New Jersey as well. Recently, their Pharmacy program received Pre-candidate Status from the Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education (ACPE) its accreditation.
