There are several different types of Torah learning models depending on what college you attend. At Stern College (YU) and Lander College for Women (Touro) you are required to take Torah classes as part of your coursework. At Yeshiva College (YU) and Lander College For Men (Touro) morning shiur is mandatory. Yeshiva College also has required Torah courses and both offer a night seder program (LCM’s is mandatory). If you go to a college with an OU-JLIC, the OU-JLIC Torah Educators are constantly giving optional shiurim, running chaburot, learning with students b’chavrutah, and bringing in guest speakers. Also, some OU-JLIC Torah Educators run beit midrash style learning programs (also optional) as do the orthodox communities at some schools. You can see which colleges have an OU-JLIC here. On several campuses students can earn stipends for participating in organized learning through the London Kollel and/or YU. Lastly, no matter where you go, you can participate in virtual learning through Torah websites, and through Yavneh on Campus‘ assorted Torah learning programs.
