MISSION

The mission of Touro University Worldwide (TUW) is to offer online degree programs to serve the needs of adult learners (service to society), profes-sionals (intellectual pursuit), and the underserved (social justice). TUW is committed to its doctoral, graduate, bachelor and associate degree pro-grams to support this mission. The mission is also shared through the cam-pus-based undergraduate education programs at Touro College Los Angeles Division which serves a specific student body. Together, the campus based and online programs contribute to the achievement of the overall Touro core values driving this mission to provide opportunities for those who are underserved, provide service to society and achievement of the overall Touro University Worldwide student success.

HISTORY OF THE TOURO COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

In 1790, George Washington visited the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, and spoke eloquently of democracy, ethics, equal opportunity and the American ideal. Little did he know how far his words would carry. Washington's vision inspired Isaac and Judah Touro, leaders in colonial America, to pioneer their family's efforts to enrich the lives of all people, regardless of creed or color, through educational opportunities, spiritual outreach, and vocational enterprise. The Touro family began providing ma-jor endowments for universities, the first free library in North America, in-dependent health facilities across the United States, and communities in Israel.

In 1970, in the tradition established by the early Jewish-American leaders for whom it is named, Dr. Bernard Lander founded Touro College to strengthen the Judaic tradition and serve the broader community with com-passion and dignity. Chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York, the College welcomed its first 35 students in the Liberal Arts and Sci-ences in 1971. From humble beginnings, Dr. Lander built a flourishing institution that reaches across the country and the world. Touro is currently enrolling over 18,000 students a year in a broad range of disciplines, including business, law, social work, Jewish Studies and technology. Each decade has ushered in a wave of new academic and professional programs designed to give stu-dents an advantage in an increasingly competitive world:

ABOUT TOURO UNIVERSITY WORLDWIDE

1

The 1980s The Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center and the School for Lifelong Education opened, as well as a college for recent immigrants. The latter would eventu-ally evolve into the New York School of Career and Applied Sciences (NYSCAS). The 1990s Touro University California, Touro University International, and the School of Health Sciences were established, introducing colleges of osteopathic medi-cine, pharmacy, health sciences, and education. Touro expanded its under-graduate offerings with new campuses in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

The New Millennium Since 2000, the Touro network has grown to include international sites in Paris and Berlin, as well as coastal campuses in Los Angeles, Orange County, and Miami. In 2004-5, the new Touro University Nevada launched programs in osteopathic medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, and education. Between 2007-2009 the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Pharmacy opened 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 even as we grow, each campus, every program, and all of our students are held to the standard set for us over 220 years ago.

Touro is a system of non-profit institutions of higher and professional educa-tion. Touro College was chartered in 1970 primarily to enrich the Jewish heri-tage, and to serve the larger American and global community. Approximately 18,000 students are currently enrolled in its various schools and divisions. Touro College has 29 branch campuses, locations and instructional sites in the New York area, as well as branch campuses and programs in Berlin, Jerusalem and Moscow. New York Medical College; Touro University California and its Nevada branch campus; Touro University Worldwide and its Touro College Los Angeles division; as well as Hebrew Theological College in Skokie, Ill. are sepa-rately accredited institutions within the Touro College and University System.

HISTORY OF TOURO UNIVERSITY WORLDWIDE

The Touro College and University System has a long track record of offering

high quality online degree programs in professional fields at the Bachelor,

Master, and Doctorate levels. Touro University International (TUI) was

founded in 1998 by Dr. Yoram Neumann and Dr. Edith Neumann and was the

first university in the world to offer a regionally accredited PhD program

online with no residency requirements. Government and military students

had exceptional participation. Drs. Neumann, the founders, led TUI for 11

years (1998-2009). At that time, TUI had graduated 14,000 proud alumni.

From no courses in 1998, TUI offered more than 50,000 course registrations in

2009. In 2007, TUI was sold to a private equity group.

Touro University Worldwide (TUW) was founded in 2008 by Dr. Bernard

Luskin to replace the void that the sale of TUI had created. Drs. Neumann, the

founders of TUI, returned to Touro in July 2012 and assumed the leadership of

Touro University Worldwide. The mission of online education at Touro Univer-

sity Worldwide is to offer professional degree programs to serve the needs of

adult learners (service to society), professionals (intellectual pursuit), and the

underserved (social justice).
