The Sy Syms School of Business was established in 1987 through a gift from retail entrepreneur Sy Syms and serves as the undergraduate business school of Yeshiva University, which was founded in 1886. The school offers AACSB-accredited programs in accounting, finance, marketing, management, and analytics, and is particularly well known for its accounting program and for placing graduates at major Big Four firms and Wall Street institutions.
Students at Syms pursue a dual curriculum, combining business coursework with Jewish studies or liberal arts, at either the Wilf Campus in Washington Heights (men) or the Beren Campus in Midtown Manhattan (women). Small class sizes, close faculty mentorship, and strong ties to New York's financial and professional community define the experience. The school emphasizes internships, networking with alumni, and ethical leadership, and its graduates often move into accounting, finance, consulting, and entrepreneurship.
