Why Students Choose LAS
At Touro LAS, you’ll find a community that understands your goals and supports your growth — with personalized guidance, faculty who care, and a campus environment that helps you stay focused, supported, and on track to a meaningful career.
Here’s just some of what you can expect at LAS:
Separate programs for men and women means you never have to choose between your values and your goals.
The Accelerated CPA track helps you fast-track your path to becoming a CPA by earning your bachelor’s in as little as 17 months.
Structured pathways prepare you for graduate and professional programs at Touro University and elsewhere, including New York Medical College, Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, Touro College of Dental Medicine, and Touro University School of Health Sciences.
The Touro College Israel Option (TCIO) lets you begin your LAS journey in seminary or yeshiva as study abroad while enrolled at LAS. If you’re eligible for financial aid it applies to your study abroad as well.
The All-Women’s Cohort lets post-seminary women move through an accelerated program together with a direct path to graduate programs in nursing, OT, CMHC, SLP, ABA, and I-O psychology.
Afternoon, evening, hybrid, online, and asynchronous options offer flexibility.
Faculty know you by name, offer personal mentorship, and create space for one‑on‑one support and meaningful discussions.
You learn in small classes while benefiting from the resources of a major, multi-campus university system.
“I feel like Touro is one of the only in-person college options that has traditional Jewish values and like-minded peers. All of my friends are at Touro with me, and it has a great environment. It really wasn't a question of where I'm going to go — I always knew I was going to go to Touro.”
- Rachelle Halpert (BS Biology, ’25)
The Application Process
Applying to LAS is straightforward and personal. Most LAS programs offer rolling admissions, allowing you to apply and begin when you’re ready — fall, spring, post-Pesach, or summer.
Note: Pre-professional and Honors Pathways may have specific admission timelines and requirements, and your Admissions advisor will help you apply at the right time for those programs.
Step 1: Complete Your Application
Fill out the online application and be sure to select Lander College of Arts & Sciences in Flatbush. Prefer a paper application? Contact the Admissions office.
Step 2: Submit Your Academic Records
Without a high school transcript, we can’t evaluate your application. Please send your official high school transcripts to Esti Berkowitz (jennifer.berkowitz@touro.edu) and/or Tehilla Ferres (tehilla.feldmaus@touro.edu). If you have official seminary, yeshiva, and/or college transcripts, please also send them directly to Esti and/or Tehilla.
Did you know? Applicants with an outstanding academic record may be admitted to Touro at the end of their junior year of high school.
Step 3: Send in SAT/ACT Scores (Optional)
Although SAT and ACT scores are not required for general admission, they can positively influence scholarship opportunities for all students. Here are the codes to use:
- SAT Code: 2902
- ACT Code: 2961
Applying to an honors program? If you’re applying to a Pathway Honors Program, SAT/ACT scores are required. If you’re applying to the Society of Fellows, test scores are not required. Both programs and all pre-professional pathways have separate applications, and your admissions advisor will explain what’s needed and when to submit it.
Step 4: Recommendations (Optional)
We encourage you to submit two letters of recommendation to support your application — although this isn't a requirement. These letters should come from teachers, counselors, employers, or a rabbi who knows you well.
If Needed: Interviews & English Placement
Some applicants may be asked to interview with an admissions officer before the Admissions Committee makes a decision. If needed, an English placement exam will be administered immediately following the interview.

“I heard about Touro while I was in seminary in Israel, and what really stood out was the frum environment and how supportive everyone was. I’d taken two years of accounting classes in high school, and I was interested in it, but only once I started taking classes at LAS did I know I wanted to get my bachelor’s in accounting.”
- Esther Aufrichtig (Accelerated BS Accounting, ’26)
The Touro College Israel Option
The Touro College Israel Option (TCIO) allows enrolled LAS students to spend a semester or year learning in a yeshiva or seminary in Israel while staying on track academically. Because you remain an LAS student throughout your time in Israel, eligible financial aid may be applied to the year, and participants commit to continuing their degree at LAS upon return.
Through TCIO, you stay connected to your LAS degree path while:
- Earning up to 36 college credits toward your LAS degree
- Receiving academic advisement throughout the year
- Accessing career counseling and course-planning support
- Engaging with Lander faculty and deans through regular onsite visits
