4. Yeshiva University
Ranked 280th in the world, Yeshiva University is another of the top research universities in New York. It was founded (over 100 years ago) with the mission of combining Jewish traditions and culture with Western heritage, and the continuing influence of this cultural focus is seen in the Yeshiva University Museum, which explores Jewish life through art, architecture and history.
Relatively small compared to most of the other universities in New York listed here, Yeshiva University has around 7,500 students, of which just over 3,000 are undergraduates. With campuses and facilities spread across Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens (and some in Israel), Yeshiva University’s main campus is in the Washington Heights area of Upper Manhattan.
5. City University of New York (CUNY)
Whereas all the other universities in New York listed here are private, the City University of New York (CUNY) is NYC’s public university system. Currently ranked 471-480 in the world, CUNY is the largest urban university system in the US, composed of 24 colleges spread across Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn (plus one on Staten Island), with more than 500,000 students enrolled on a huge variety of courses.
From vocational training to PhD research, full-time study to evening classes, the City University of New York almost certainly has a program to match. CUNY also prides itself on having strong connections with the city’s neighborhoods, running a network of internship and fellowship programs across the five boroughs to enrich study life
