Sy Syms School of Business (formerly the Syms School of Business) is Yeshiva University's business school. It offers both undergraduate and graduate business programs at the Wilf Campus in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood, and at the Beren Campus in New York’s Murray Hill neighborhood.
The school offers the combination of a complete business curriculum, affording professional preparation with a broad base in liberal arts studies.
Established in 1987 through a $22 million endowment from businessman and philanthropist Sy Syms and other business leaders, the school offers a complete business curriculum along with an intensive Jewish studies component for undergraduates.
Sy Syms School of Business offers professional preparation with a broad base in liberal arts studies. The curriculum, leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, incorporates the study and use of a wide variety of Business disciplines as part of the coursework. Jewish tradition provides the framework for consideration of ethical issues, an integral part of the student's education. All Sy Syms students simultaneously attend one of the four schools of Jewish studies. Sy Syms faculty members are committed to teaching undergraduates while maintaining respected positions in the research and professional communities. They thus offer students a thorough background in the theoretical as well as practical aspects of business.
It is accredited as a business school by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The main building on Wilf Campus is the 235 ft tall Belfer Hall that was originally built in 1968 for the use of Wurzweiler School of Social Work & Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies but now shared by the three schools. Belfer Hall, named for philanthropists Diane and Arthur Belfer, is one of the tallest educational structures in the world. The school's students live in the surrounding residence halls of Yeshiva University and make use of the surrounding facilities. Students can also have a productive workout at the state of the art Syms Fitness Center located in Rubin Hall.
