The YU Honors Pathway Program recognizes and rewards three high-achieving incoming freshmen at both MTA and Central with early assurance into the honors programs at Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, or the Sy Syms School of Business. This distinguished opportunity highlights academic excellence and provides a seamless pathway to their future at Yeshiva University.
Through the YU Residency Advancement Program, MTA students can earn up to a semester of Yeshiva University credits by completing 12 credits at YU, while Central students can earn the same by completing YU-accredited courses offered directly on their high school campus. These credits apply toward YU’s six-semester residency requirement, giving motivated students a head start on their college experience and the opportunity to complete their degree in as few as five semesters.
MTA and Central students can apply to the YUHS Leadership Track, where they participate in seminars, extracurricular leadership activities, and cohort-based programming led by Yeshiva University Leadership Scholars from the Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks-Herenstein Center for Values and Leadership. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Erica Brown, these programs are designed to cultivate the leadership skills necessary for the next generation of Jewish leaders.
The Science Institute Program is an innovative program designed for select students to concentrate their high school studies on scientific knowledge, science literacy, and research methodology. Starting in sophomore year, participants engage in a specialized science curriculum aimed at enriching their knowledge, skills, and passion for science. Professor Jason J. Williams from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory leads the Research Methodology course, meeting with students weekly in the lab on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Participants also have access to research opportunities at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and can participate in prestigious summer internships, national and international science competitions, and Yeshiva University’s annual Medical Ethics Conference, all under the expert guidance of Mrs. Ruth Fried.
Every MTA shiur is paired with a YU Rebbe, providing students with the opportunity to learn from YU’s leading Torah scholars. Monthly shiurim, Q&A sessions, and informal discussions allow students to engage directly with their YU Rebbe. Additionally, quarterly chavrusa sessions in the beis medrash foster unity and shared learning experiences between MTA and YU talmidim.
Over 25 MTA students have committed to joining YU’s Night Seder program, learning from 8:00 to 10:00 PM twice a week in the YU Beit Midrash. These talmidim keep pace with the YU students, even taking the same bechinos. In addition to the yeshiva’s regular night seder, over 80 MTA talmidim also participate in Thursday night learning sessions in the YU Beis Medrash from 8:00 to 10:00 PM.
Explore the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah through focused weekly study, guided by Rabbi Zvi Lew and guest Yeshiva University rebbeim, including Rabbi Hershel Schachter and Rabbi Mordechai Willig.
