Yeshiva University has launched a new YU Direct Nursing pathway, allowing young women to begin their undergraduate education at Stern College for Women before transitioning directly into the Katz School of Science and Health's Transfer B.S. in Nursing program. This integrated pathway, now accepting applications for Fall 2027, enables students to complete 62 credits at Stern, fostering academic, social, and spiritual growth, followed by five semesters of nursing coursework, simulation, and clinical rotations at the Katz School, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 21 months. According to Rabbi Ari Berman, President of Yeshiva University, "YU Direct programs reflect what Yeshiva University does at its best: enabling students to pursue ambitious professional goals while remaining deeply rooted in Torah values and the Yeshiva University experience." The program emphasizes a values-based approach to nursing, preparing graduates for the NCLEX-RN exam and diverse healthcare roles.
