Spring Valley, New York
Thinking about Be'er Yaakov Talmudic Seminary, a college in New York where more students graduate in Philosophy & Religion than anything else? The four things worth knowing are what it actually costs after aid, whether you would get in, whether students finish, and what they earn after they do.
Be'er Yaakov Talmudic Seminary is a private nonprofit institution offering bachelor's degrees based in Spring Valley, New York. It enrolls 765 students (a small, tight-knit student body), according to IPEDS 2023-24 data.

These four scores answer one question: compared with similar colleges, is this one worth the money? Each runs 0 to 100 and is judged only against its peer group (4-Year Open / Online), so a community college is never marked down for not being Harvard. Everything is computed from federal data. Nobody can pay to move a score, and a pillar with missing data is left unscored rather than guessed.
Be'er Yaakov Talmudic Seminary does not report an acceptance rate. Schools that do not publish one are usually open-admission, but confirm with the admissions office before you assume it.
Ignore the sticker price. What matters is the net price, which is what a typical family pays here after grants and scholarships come off.
