EspañolLANDER COLLEGE
The 'Lander College for Men' (LCM) is a private, men's honors division of Touro College located in Kew Gardens Hills, New York, known for its programs in accounting, biology, computer science, political science, and rabbinical ordination.
The Lander College for Men was created partially in response to dissatisfaction with the alleged liberalization of Yeshiva University. In response to this, some of YU's rabbinical faculty, including Rabbis Abba Bronspigel and Yehuda Parness, decided to leave the school. With the assistance of Rabbi Dr. Bernard Lander, they created an alternative Orthodox Jewish college with the goal of providing a more religious and more challenging Yeshiva environment than the one they had left behind. The Lander College aimed to provide a rigorous college curriculum while maintaining a traditional Yeshiva environment without violation of Jewish law.
The Lander College for Men opened its doors in the fall of 2000 on a 7-acre campus in Kew Gardens Hills, NY[1] and graduated its first class in 2003.
Lander College For Men offers a wide range of majors within itself and through its parent, Touro College. In the business department there are majors in accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and a program combining management and marketing. There is also a Pre-Medical track which includes degrees in Biology, Psychology, or a combination of the two. The Computer Science and Mathematics faculty offers degrees in Information Services, Computer Science, Data Communications, Mathematics, and a mathematics track for pre-Actuarial students. There is also a major in Political Science with the option of a pre-Law track.
Most students graduate in three or fewer years at the school, since most students transfer from institutions focusing on post-high school full time Judaic studies for a year or more. They have a [Beis Medrash] program, in conjunction with the associated Beis Medrash L'Talmud, for full time Judaic studies either before or after college. All students must be enrolled in at least the morning program of Judiac studies, from 7:45am until 3:00pm, (with a 1 hour break for lunch) when classes start, Monday through Thursday. There is a modified schedule for the mornings on Sunday and Friday, ending at 1:15pm and 10:30am, respectively. [Night Seder] is also mandatory.[2]
LCM boasts that its small class sizes allows for an emphasis on discussion and understanding, not just lectures. Additionally, it claims that its professors' extensive research, business experience and professional connections allow for many options not available at many larger universities. Lander, along with the other related schools under the Touro aegis, (which are not differentiated for this purpose,) have ranked nationally in the top several universities for passing several sections of the CPA, including the Business Environment, and Financial Accounting and Reporting sections.[3]
Lander College boasts an active and cohesive student organization. The student organization functions under the Office of Student Life, currently chaired by Rabbi Mordechai Burg. Lander College, though in its infancy, has already created an active alumni association which seeks to unite its geographically diverse alumni body.
Lander College now boasts not only a regular kollel for those who finish college and want to continue learning but also a kollel elyon. The kollel elyon is a kollel comprised of 10 of the best and brightest and is designed to enhance the level of learning in the yeshiva.
Lander's rabbinical staff is led by Rabbi Abba Bronspiegel, Rosh HaYeshiva, Rabbi Yehuda Parnes, Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Yehuda Shmulewitz, Menahel, and Rabbi Moshe Bamberger, Mashgiach Ruchani. Other Maggidei Shiur include Rabbi Dovid Mirsky and Rabbi Eliyahu Soloveichik.[4] The college is also host to a number of well known educators, among them, Rabbi Dr. Moshe Sokol (Ph.D., Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania), Dean as well as professor of literature. LCM's recruitment division is currently led by Rabbi Barry Nathan, the former director of Long Island NCSY.
