Yitzchok K. from Tri-State Area took the Bellevue University - BS Cybersecurity.   Here's what they had to say about it:  In today's day and age, a large amount of materials covers by traditional college programs are obsolete, time and money consuming, and a big hokes. This program enable students who are in need of a traditional style degree to obtain one but in a more focused, efficient, and affordable fashion. This is due to the fact that the available courses provided by Bellevue University in partnership with YIEP, has a bigger emphasis on the core classes related to the fields of study. In addition, the partnership between YIEP and Bellevue University creates a situation better suited for religious people in pursuit of a degree, as well as advocating for them and providing support.  This program provides better support for religious students in terms of flexibility, cost and time efficiency, and more of a focused curriculum. They provide a great deal of student support, get straight to the point, no funny business, and genuinely care about their student unlike a lot of other programs which pretend to.

Here's what they had to say about it:  After doing much research on various programs, I concluded that the YIEP offered a program that was fitting for my schedule and I was able to manage a full time job in a different industry. Additionally, I was thrilled with the communication and ability to speak with Rabbi Lerner and other students who were very helpful in sharing their experiences with the program. There is a tremendous amount to learn from the program and the support between students and past students is what sets this program apart from others. But above all, I cannot express enough how much of a self-growth journey I have been through during my time in the program. The ability to maintain a daily schedule and lifestyle that doesn't become overwhelming on a financial standpoint as well. Additionally, there is a tremendous support group between members in the program that is unique and something I have not come across elsewhere.

Sarah B. from Tri-State Area took the Bachelors of Human Services. Here's what they had to say about it:  It was connected with my sem and it was a great opportuity. I knew somewhat what i wanted to do beforehand.  As a Jewish student, the professors were very understanding and our curriculum was able to be adapted to our faith. Also, It's the kind of thing you do on your own time while still having due dates, so you can do it from the comfort of your home while still being motivated. The main thing I liked was that even though a lot of it is online learning, the support from the professors is very present.  Rabbi Lerner also helped me through every little detail and where I would have felt totally lost. I was able to get grants, loans, books, ideas for the CLEPs, and more because of his support.

Sarah N. from Tri-State Area took the BS Behavioral Science Human Services.  Here's what they had to say about it:  Part of what made me enroll in the program was because as a child, I had received a lot of help from therapist growing up and I wanted to enroll in the program in order to help people the way my therapist helped me. Another reason was that I always had an interest in the human psyche and wished to deepen my understanding of it. Something that I would say to a prospective student about why they should enroll is because of the format of the classes and the atmosphere of the school. In general, I found that they were designed to be as convienent as possible for individuals that were also seminary students or working part time. Part of what made unique was how it accommodated my religious needs, which I found very helpful.

Tamar R. G., Esq. from Tri-State Area took the BS in Business,  Here's what they had to say about it:  I knew that I probably wanted to go to law school, so I wasn't concerned that attending an online college would be a problem, since law schools look primarily at the LSAT score. I was also teaching at the time so the flexibility of the program was a big bonus for me.It's a great option for someone who may want to start out married life in Eretz Yisroel. The program is very doable for a motivated person. It has great flexibility.

Yitzchok K. from New York took the Masters in Clinical Health.   Here's what they had to say about it:  For many years, I had an interest and had been involved in talking to bochurim about their challenges. When I heard about this program, I was excited to enroll and learn more and get better to help the teenagers of our generation. The program not only gave me knowledge but also change me as a person. I now have a different perspective when talking to people and I am not running to force my view on others. I am more respectful of others' opinions. It is mostly online and no classes even on Zoom, which something that was tempting to me since I don't like to sit through class.

Unlike other online programs, which are completely on your own time, without hard deadlines, this was self-paced with deadlines and no classes that you have to be on at certain days/hours.  You have more flexibility.

Batsheva A. from New York took the BA of Science with a major in Cybersecurity.  Here's what they had to say about it:  I appreciated that the program worked with my religious values and worked around the Jewish holidays. Before coming into the program, I had no questions because Rabbi Lerner was very thorough and supportive throughout the entire enrollment process, which took off a lot of stress.  Consider this YIEP program because today, high tech is becoming vastly advanced and this field could use more professionals to fill high tech positions - especially in Israel - which is advantageous to English-speaking professionals.  It works around the Jewish Calendar. The cohort and the flexible staff, professors, and definitely the schedule!
