To jwashing: I have degrees from Hopkins (BA and Masters) in psychology and my son has a degree in Information Technology from UMBC. College tuition is in addition to NIRC tuition. Many NIRC grads enter Federal Service at SSA or other local or DC Agencies. Some attend law school at UMd or UB, pass the Md Bar and enter the legal world. Others are in the Accounting, Information Technology, or math-actuarial science areas. There are as many options as there are majors at the schools. While NIRC monitors the number of evening a week the boys can attend they do not monitor what you are majoring in. Just don’t expect much help from NIRC, it is all from the boys themselves and the college career advisers. There is no formal partnership with any colleges so calling them is useless. It is a transfer and acceptance of certain credits from NIRC. Israeli yeshiva credits are more suspect and most will not be accepted. All in all if you are thinking about an out of NY area yeshiva where serious Torah learning can co-exist with college then NIRC is the place. Check it out.
