About Touro
Touro students hail from all over the world, from all walks of life, in the pursuit of a common goal: To get the best possible education, to find a promising professional career, and to do so in an environment that respects and supports their backgrounds and beliefs.
About Touro
Established in 1970 to focus on higher education for the Jewish community and humanity, we enrolled our first class in September 1971. Today, Touro is the largest higher education system under Jewish auspices in America. We serve a widely diverse and growing population of over 19,000 students in dozens of schools in the US and abroad. Rooted in rigorous scholarship, we have the agility, responsiveness, and entrepreneurial spirit of a younger institution. Our research footprint continues to increase, and we have become one of the leading educators of healthcare professionals in the United States. We are attuned to what students need for today's rapidly evolving marketplace and world and develop programs at the cutting edge of technology and education.
As we expand, we remain true to our mission, and are uniquely aware of the importance of an education that accommodates students from all backgrounds and circumstances.
