Top Jewish Schools

Filed in archive Campus Life by Greg Cruey on December 13, 2007

A news snippet from the Chronicle of Higher Ed recently mentioned that Muhlenberg College has become one of America's top ten Jewish school as measured by the percentage of the student body that is Jewish. About one-third of Muhlenberg College's student body is Jewish.

One reason that piece of information was news is that Muhlenberg College is a Lutheran school.

I decided to look around and see what I could find on the topic of top Jewish schools. The Chronicle doesn't mention a specific source. I did find this, though. It's the Insiders Guide to College Schools published by Reform Judaism magazine. Based on their numbers, the ten colleges with the largest percentage of students are Jewish are:
  • Yeshiva University in New York City, where 93.5% of the student body is Jewish
  • Brandeis University in Waltham, MA, where 61.7% of the student body is Jewish
  • Barnard College in New York City, where 43.5% of the student body is Jewish
  • SUNY College at Oneonta, NY, where 35.7% of the student body is Jewish
  • Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where 33.3% of the student body is Jewish
  • Pratt Institute in New York City, where 32.0% of the student body is Jewish
  • University of Hartford in Hartford, CT, where 31.9% of the student body is Jewish
  • george washingtonlinks University in Washington, DC, where 31.6% of the student body is Jewish
  • Tufts University in Medford, MA, where 31.6% of the student body is Jewish
  • Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA, where 31% of the student body is Jewish
