possible to continue intensive gemarah study, while receiving the
kind of superb education requisite for success.
Our roshei yeshiva are world-renowned, and the majority
of our faculty have won teaching or research awards from the
universities at which they taught prior to joining the Lander
College for Men faculty. Faculty hold advanced degrees from
some of America’s best universities, and bring advanced
research skills and high-level real-world experience to the
classroom. They offer the kind of rigorous education and
personal attention to students too rare in today’s higher
education universe. As a result, our students have gained
admission to the best graduate and professional schools in the
country, and found positions in of the most desirable firms.
The Lander College for Men/Beis Medrash L’Talmud is a
community, of learners, rabbeim and scholars. The great majority of our students live on our beautiful new seven-acre Kew Gardens Hills campus, and rabbeim and faculty are often present as
well, sharing in a rich intellectual, spiritual, and social life. I invite
you to join our community, to benefit from what it has to offer
and, in turn, to make your own contribution to its flourishing.
MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
There are many fine
institutions which
provide college-age
students an opportunity
to learn gemarah with
utmost seriousness, and
of course there are
many fine institutions
which provide students
an opportunity to
receive a rigorous
college education.
However, there are very
few institutions which
provide students an

simultaneously.
The Lander College
for Men/Beis Medrash L’Talmud is distinctive in that it admits and
educates only those students who are deeply committed to both
these undertakings. The bulk of the day and evening is spent in
the study of gemarah, but college classes are offered Monday
through Thursday, from mid-afternoon to evening. This makes it

EXCELLENCE
IN JEWISH
T h e B e i s M e d r a s h L’ Ta l m u d ,
an affiliate of the College, makes
available advanced intensive study of
gemara to its students. The approach
of the Beis Medrash L’Talmud follows
the classic, analytical methods
characteristic of the finest yeshivas.
Students receive close personal
attention from their roshei yeshiva in a
warm and supportive environment
conducive to their personal growth.
The Beis Medrash L’Talmud
learning program functions six days a
week. On regular weekdays, the
program for undergraduate students
ends at 3:00 p.m. A required night
seder enhances the learning experience,
and bekius shiurim, sichot and lectures
on halakha are offered then as well.
Students have the opportunity to
interact with kollel members, who
participate in creating a vibrant beis
m e d r a s h a t m o s p h e re . T h e b e i s
medrash also hosts a kollel elyon made
up of outstanding young scholars who
serve as role models and resources for
the entire student body. Members of
the kollel elyon offer chaburos for
students, and organize an afternoon
lear ning program for interested
students who have free periods during
the afternoons.
In order to foster the kind of
closeness crucial for growth, the entire
beis medrash is divided into small
groups of four-five students, and these
groups meet once a week under the
guidance of an advanced student in the
beis medrash.
T h e R o s h H a Ye s h i v a o f B e i s
Medrash L’ Talmud is Rabbi Abba
Bronspigel, a prize student of the late
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, and one

Specializations
The Honors Core Curriculum
Lander College is deeply committed to providing a
superb and rigorous curriculum in a challenging smallclass setting. While the College offers a variety of
courses in the liberal arts and sciences, it specializes in
the natural and life sciences, business-related fields such
as finance, management and accounting, computer
science, psychology, pre-engineering, mathematics, and
pre-law studies such as political science. The College
provides the kind of curriculum designed to produce
leaders in these fields.
The College offers an enriched Honors Core Curriculum,
which provides students a deeper and broader exposure to the
history and literature of western civilization, to Jewish history,
and to central issues in the natural and social sciences. Students
who complete the Honors Core must also write research
papers for courses in these areas, thus providing a more sophisticated preparation for graduate and professional school.
Dr. Kenneth Danishefsky, Biology
Dr. Kenneth
Danishefsky, chair of the
Biology Department and
Pre-Med Advisor,
previously taught at
New York Medical
College and Yeshiva
University, where he was
named Teacher of the
Year. He has published
extensively on the
subject of cardiovascular
molecular biology and
conducted research at
the Roche Institute for Molecular Biology in New Jersey. He
actively encourages research outside the structure of the
classroom, and oversees the College’s teaching and research
laboratories in the natural sciences.
The Standard Core Curriculum
Academic excellence and professional success at the
highest levels require a base of knowledge, skills, and
critical engagement beyond that provided by the major
alone. The College Core Curriculum seeks to achieve
these goals by requiring students to complete one course
in western history, Jewish history and western literature,
two courses in English Composition (unless exempted by
a placement examination) one course in mathematics,
one course in a liberal arts or science field outside the
major, one course in computer sciences, and one course
in either the natural sciences (for students not majoring in
that field) or social sciences (for students not majoring in
that field).

Faculty Mentorships
At many institutions of higher education it is easy for
students to feel lost among the large number of students.
Because the Lander College for Men is a small, selective
institution for motivated students, it is able to assign each
student a mentor from its full-time faculty. The role of the
mentor is to develop a personal relationship with the student,
provide academic guidance, and help the student secure
internships, employment, or acceptance into graduate or
professional schools
A Personalized Environment
Students are encouraged to develop a close personal
relationship with their rebbeim and faculty, who see it as an
essential part of their role to be concerned for each student.
Deans and other administrators share the same commitment
to meeting the individual needs of their students.
Because the student body consists of a community of
carefully selected and motivated learners, the shared ethos
within the College likewise cultivates an atmosphere of
warmth. Classes are small, and close personal interaction
with faculty is fostered, especially in seminar courses
Honor Societies
Three National Honor Societies have established chapters at
the College. They are Omicron Delta Epsilon, the international
Honor Society in Economics and Business; Alpha Chi, an honor
society recognizing general academic excellence, and The
American Psychological Society. Seniors are selected for
membership to these societies based on outstanding scholastic
achievement and service to the school.

seven acres in one of the safest, most vibrant and attractive
Jewish neighborhoods in New York City, Kew Gardens Hills,
Queens. The central vision behind the design, planning and
construction of the campus was to create an environment
most conducive to realizing the College’s goals of academic
and Jewish excellence in a personalized environment.
Dormitory Facilities
Consistent with the overall goals of the college, its
dormitory facilities are designed to help foster small
communities of learners, close personal relationships among
students, and to impart a comfortable, home-like feel to campus
living. The dormitories consist of nine newly-constructed
attached townhouses, each of which contains three spacious
apartments with multiple bedrooms, as well as kitchens, dining
rooms, living rooms, and balconies. In contrast to the stark
institutional environment found in many university residences,

Campus Grounds
Most of the seven acres of campus area are dedicated to
creating the kind of atmosphere reminiscent of fine college
campuses in rural, college towns. Immediately behind the
academic center and dormitories is a spacious, 8,000-squarefoot college quadrangle. The quadrangle consists of beautifully
paved and grassy areas, ample seating and carefully
landscaped plantings. Students can walk here, sit and study,
congregate, talk with their professors, or just relax. Past the
quadrangle are the College’s athletic facilities. These include a
baseball diamond, soccer field, two regulation-size basketball
courts, and a tennis court.

The awarding of credit for yeshiva studies is based solely
on College academic policies. The credit values assigned to
courses by the College might not coincide with the credit
values listed on a yeshiva transcript.
Advisement and Counseling
The College provides advisement and guidance to help
students map out their academic program and make the
right career decisions. The Office of Counseling and Career
Services assists students in exploring their interests,
identifying career options, and choosing a major. Various
instruments and tests are utilized to supplement individual
one-on-one counseling sessions. The staff also provides
confidential personal guidance.
At registration, as well as during the semester, deans,
advisors, and mentors help students to select appropriate
courses in order to satisfy core and major requirement.
Tutoring in selected fields, such as mathematics and
English, is provided at no charge by peer tutors and others.
Students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in such
fields as business (e.g., the MBA), computer science, health
sciences, law, and psychology are counseled regarding the
steps in the application process, including the required
admission tests, and are offered guidance in selecting
appropriate professional schools.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
AND
STUDENT SERVICES
Finding a Job
Securing employment after graduation, or
internships while still in college, is of great importance
to many students, and the Lander College of Men has
recently upgraded its career services programs to help
students meet this challenge. Specialists on staff provide
job counseling and assist students seeking internships as
well as part-time or full-time employment. They conduct
workshops designed to develop effective job-search
skills, particularly in such areas as researching the job
market, preparing resumes, and navigating the interview
process.
The Career Services Department also actively cultivates
relationships with major employers, helps arrange interviews
for qualified students, and sponsors career fairs where
students can meet with potential employers in their field.
