ABOUT TOURO UNIVERSITY WORLDWIDEMISSIONThe mission of Touro University Worldwide (TUW) is to offer online degreeprograms to serve the needs of adult learners (service to society), professionals (intellectual pursuit), and the underserved (social justice). TUW iscommitted to its doctoral, graduate, bachelor and associate degree programs to support this mission. The mission is also shared through the campus-based undergraduate education programs at Touro College Los AngelesDivision which serves a specific student body. Together, the campus basedand online programs contribute to the achievement of the overall Tourocore values driving this mission to provide opportunities for those who areunderserved, provide service to society and achievement of the overallTouro University Worldwide student success.HISTORY OF THE TOURO COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY SYSTEMIn 1790, George Washington visited the Touro Synagogue in Newport,Rhode Island, and spoke eloquently of democracy, ethics, equal opportunityand the American ideal. Little did he know how far his words would carry.Washington's vision inspired Isaac and Judah Touro, leaders in colonialAmerica, to pioneer their family's efforts to enrich the lives of all people,regardless of creed or color, through educational opportunities, spiritualoutreach, and vocational enterprise. The Touro family began providing major endowments for universities, the first free library in North America, independent health facilities across the United States, and communities inIsrael.In 1970, in the tradition established by the early Jewish-American leadersfor whom it is named, Dr. Bernard Lander founded Touro College tostrengthen the Judaic tradition and serve the broader community with compassion and dignity. Chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of NewYork, the College welcomed its first 35 students in the Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1971.From humble beginnings, Dr. Lander built a flourishing institution thatreaches across the country and the world. Touro is currently enrolling over18,000 students a year in a broad range of disciplines, including business,law, social work, Jewish Studies and technology. Each decade has usheredin a wave of new academic and professional programs designed to give students an advantage in an increasingly competitive world:1
The 1980sThe Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center and the School for Lifelong Educationopened, as well as a college for recent immigrants. The latter would eventually evolve into the New York School of Career and Applied Sciences (NYSCAS).The 1990sTouro University California, Touro University International, and the School ofHealth Sciences were established, introducing colleges of osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, health sciences, and education. Touro expanded its undergraduate offerings with new campuses in Brooklyn and Manhattan.The New MillenniumSince 2000, the Touro network has grown to include international sites inParis and Berlin, as well as coastal campuses in Los Angeles, Orange County,and Miami. In 2004-5, the new Touro University Nevada launched programs inosteopathic medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, and education. Between2007-2009 the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Pharmacyopened in Harlem, and in 2011 New York Medical College, in Valhalla, NY,became part of the Touro family.In 2010, when Dr. Alan Kadish took over as president of Touro following Dr.Lander’s esteemed tenure, he renewed our commitment to ensure that evenas we grow, each campus, every program, and all of our students are held tothe standard set for us over 220 years ago.Touro is a system of non-profit institutions of higher and professional education. Touro College was chartered in 1970 primarily to enrich the Jewish heritage, and to serve the larger American and global community. Approximately18,000 students are currently enrolled in its various schools and divisions.Touro College has 29 branch campuses, locations and instructional sites in theNew York area, as well as branch campuses and programs in Berlin, Jerusalemand Moscow. New York Medical College; Touro University California and itsNevada branch campus; Touro University Worldwide and its Touro College LosAngeles division; as well as Hebrew Theological College in Skokie, Ill. are separately accredited institutions within the Touro College and University System.For further information on Touro College, please go to:http://www.touro.edu/news/2
HISTORY OF TOURO UNIVERSITY WORLDWIDEThe Touro College and University System has a long track record of offeringhigh quality online degree programs in professional fields at the Bachelor,Master, and Doctorate levels. Touro University International (TUI) wasfounded in 1998 by Dr. Yoram Neumann and Dr. Edith Neumann and was thefirst university in the world to offer a regionally accredited PhD programonline with no residency requirements. Government and military studentshad exceptional participation. Drs. Neumann, the founders, led TUI for 11years (1998-2009).
