    耶什華大學(xué)（ Yeshiva University）建于1886年，原名葉史瓦學(xué)院，是美國(guó)最古老，最具綜合性的著名猶太人教育機(jī)構(gòu)。100多年來(lái)，一直弘揚(yáng)猶太人勤奮好學(xué)、堅(jiān)持不懈和拓展人類知識(shí)的精神，是被《美國(guó)新聞與世界報(bào)道》列為全美前50名的學(xué)府。葉史瓦大學(xué)是由猶太教信徒贊助所以也叫猶太大學(xué)。該大學(xué)由18個(gè)本科和研究生學(xué)院組成分布四個(gè)在紐約的分校，學(xué)科涉及到藝術(shù)， 科學(xué)和猶太文化和思想，葉史瓦大學(xué)是畢業(yè)率最高的美國(guó)大學(xué)之一，其畢業(yè)率為92%。
    耶什華大學(xué)位于紐約，學(xué)校規(guī)模比較小，只有學(xué)生7,000余人，本科生只有2,798人。研究生人數(shù)大大多于本科生人數(shù)，由此可見(jiàn)耶什華大學(xué)對(duì)高等研究的重視。另外，學(xué)校有教職員工4,714人從事教學(xué)和研究工作。學(xué)校對(duì)教育和研究的重視和巨大投入也是耶什華大學(xué)排名一路飆升的原因。
