What are some good college options for Yeshiva Bochrim that dont want a btl
Pick up a copy of US News or Consumer Reports
Distance education from a government sponsored university (e.g. Empire State College, University of Maryland University College, Western Governors, etc.). If you want something medical, you’ll need a bricks and mortar school.
honestly as cliche as it seems,touro but if ur looking for something quicker then try the 1 year program from fDU
hebrew theological college.
Stop the short cut nonsense! They are roads to nowhere. There is no substitute for real credentials from real colleges. Look into college majors that have a marketable future that include STEM, financial areas, information technology (IT) cyber security, IT data management, actuarial science, economics. The competition for jobs is very keen and the short cut holders are squeezed out of the mix.
Try Brandeis. It has the largest percentage of Jewish students aside from Jewishly affiliated colleges, including a nice-sized frum population, and it is highly prestigious in the secular world.
YU, Brooklyn, Queens all have major jewish populations and what does btl mean?
btl = Bachelor of Talmudic Law. It is the standard yeshiva degree short of Smecha or Rabbinic Ordination. It has limited value unless one can gain admission to a real graduate program from a real college.
Baruch is respected as a business college, as opposed to a science school.
If you do well, a degree from most of the CUNY schools is well respected and relatively affordable (depending on where you live).
If you’re going to college strictly for training in a profession, start with the profession, figure out what you need to study, research which schools have strong programs in that area, and then research if their graduates actually get jobs and interviews in that field.
@sholom Rodomska—Thank you.
Its an online college program ran by Young Israel. Yo can do the work 24 hours a day and from anywhere. Its a GREAT program and you get a real degree.
I have no idea what btl means (bacon tomato lettuce?)
But I am suprised nobody mentioned YU
YU has a very good yeshiva program and they are a top 50 college.
They have all sorts of people and the beis is popping at night
BTL = Bachelor’s in Talmudic Law (or Literature)
