Touro University

What Touro University does

Touro University is a private, nonprofit higher education institution founded in 1971 in New York City and operating as the largest university system under Jewish auspices in the United States. The institution educates more than 20,500 students annually across 35+ schools and colleges, 227 programs, and 36 degree types — spanning undergraduate liberal arts, graduate and professional degrees in medicine, osteopathic medicine, dental medicine, pharmacy, podiatric medicine, law, education, social work, business, technology, and Jewish studies. Its footprint includes 27 campus and educational locations across the United States (New York, California, Nevada, Illinois, Montana, Los Angeles) and internationally (Berlin, Moscow, Israel), augmented by Touro University Worldwide for online delivery. Core technology infrastructure consists of Canvas LMS for online course delivery and the TouroOne student portal for registration, financial aid, and academic services.

The business model is tuition-driven and subscription-like, with primary revenue from per-credit and semester-based tuition across the system. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: traditional academic admissions through school-specific applications, virtual information sessions, open houses, and a multi-channel digital presence including program blogs, social media, and a podcast series (Touro Talks). Supplemental revenue streams include teaching-clinic services from dental and pharmacy programs and continuing education offerings. Financial aid dependency is material — 83% of undergraduate students receive financial aid — and the institution has flagged upcoming federal student aid regulatory changes in the 2026-27 academic year.

Touro is governed as a decentralized system of semi-autonomous schools under President Dr. Alan Kadish, with a global alumni network exceeding 130,000. The institution has historically emphasized career-focused healthcare professional training alongside Jewish-values-integrated liberal arts education. Most recently, Touro launched the Touro University Antisemitism Institute in April 2026 — a first-of-its-kind initiative partnering with the Anti-Defamation League and extending international research partnerships to Israel, Russia, and Germany.
