Lander College for Men

What Lander College for Men does

Lander College for Men (LCM) is a private, non-profit undergraduate college operating as a constituent of Touro University, located on a 7-acre campus in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, New York. Founded as part of the Touro system around 1974, LCM offers a dual curriculum that combines intensive Beis Medrash Torah study in the morning and evening with college-level coursework in the afternoon, designed specifically for Orthodox Jewish male students who wish to continue religious study while pursuing professional careers. The institution runs two primary programs—a day program (Beis Medrash L'Talmud) and an evening division for students attending other yeshivas during the day—and supports specialized honors pathways in medicine, dentistry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, health sciences, and behavioral sciences that provide conditional admission to Touro's graduate and professional schools.

The college's technology stack is conventional for higher education: online courses are delivered through Canvas with proctored exams, and the Lander Torah mobile app distributes audio and video shiurim produced by the institution's faculty. Infrastructure includes a 73,000-square-foot academic center with biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science labs; a beis medrash; library; classrooms; and 13 on-campus townhouses plus apartments in the Opal complex, supported by a 10,000-square-foot gym and athletic facilities. Faculty leadership includes Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Yonason Sacks (author of 20 seforim and descendant of Rabbi Zvi Pesach Frank), Dean Henry Abramson (PhD, University of Toronto), and Mashgiach Ruchani Rabbi Moshe Bamberger (student of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach).

LCM generates revenue through per-semester tuition (ranging from $975 to $2,000 depending on credits, dormitory status, and meal plan selection), on-campus housing and meal plans, and charitable donations and endowments from alumni and community donors. Touro University provides over a million dollars in scholarships and grants annually to LCM students. The go-to-market model relies on direct outreach to Orthodox Jewish communities, including a dedicated Israel-based admissions officer recruiting from Israeli yeshivot, campus open houses, alumni referrals, and word-of-mouth through rabbis and community leaders across the US, Israel, Chile, UK, and Canada. Placement outcomes include employment at Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC, Citigroup, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and Johns Hopkins, and admission to graduate programs including New York Medical College, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Columbia University College of Dental Medicine.
