The Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music Department offers course work and performing opportunities in Western classical music and jazz at the undergraduate level.
Students from all disciplines may participate in music performance ensembles and courses of musical study.
The one restriction is that the Sense of Music, MUS 1111A, is the prerequisite to music history courses.
A fundamental guideline for all students pursuing the minor in music is that they should have a healthy balance between academic courses (history, theory, style analysis) and performance courses (chamber ensembles, jazz ensemble, applied music lessons).
The study of music and the experience of music should reinforce each other.
In this same light, music theory courses (harmony) place an emphasis on writing music.
The Music Department strongly encourages its minors to extend and refine their performance abilities during their student years by enrolling in at least one performance-oriented course each term that they are students.
This means that many music minors take more courses in music performance ensembles and lessons than they are allowed to apply toward their minor.
Facilities The Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music is housed on the second floor of the Schottenstein Center.
A Steinway grand piano resides in the Recital Room, and two other baby grand pianos plus five Baldwin upright pianos are available for practice.
The second floor features four sound-proof practice booths that are available to students until about 1 a.m each day that the building is open.
Additionally, the department supports a MIDI Electronic Music Studio.
Music Ensembles A number of opportunities are available for undergraduate musicians at Yeshiva University.
The Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music offers chamber music performance courses directed by faculty and the Yeshiva University Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dr. Bartholomew.
Yeshiva College performance ensembles present public concerts on campus each term.
Chamber Music Chamber Music Ensembles are one credit per term courses.
Dr. Levy and Dr. Bartholomew organize chamber groups of varying sizes and levels of ability to rehearse and perform classical music of all styles and eras.
Any YU students who are interested in performing in a chamber ensemble should see Dr. Bartholomew (Schottenstein 213, 212.960.5353) for an audition.
Interested musicians should be able to read music.
Rehearsals meet at a time mutually available to all members of each individual ensemble.
Jazz Ensemble The Yeshiva University Jazz Ensemble is open to all YU students who may register for the course for one credit per term.
An audition with Dr. Bartholomew, director of the Jazz Ensemble, is required.
The Jazz Ensemble rehearses Mondays 8:00 to 9:30 p.m.
In the two or three weeks immediately preceding concerts the Jazz ensemble often adds a second rehearsal per week.
The Jazz Ensemble normally presents two public concerts each year.
For over 25 years the Jazz Ensemble has played only music ("charts") composed or arranged by Dr. Levy or Dr. Bartholomew.
Each work has been tailored to fit the Jazz Ensemble's annual change in instrumentation.

The study of philosophy is significant to all who wish to live in a reflective and critical manner.
At Yeshiva College, courses in philosophy cover the full range of historical periods.
Students closely study many of the classic texts in the field, examine differing areas of philosophical inquiry and learn rigorous methods of argument.
Issues that affect our daily lives are central to philosophical inquiry and analysis: ethics, morality, the nature of knowledge and meaning, the character of the world, freedom, justice, and much more.
Philosophy explores fundamental problems of human existence.
Virtually every area of human activity ”art, science, religion, politics ”generates questions and ideas that call for philosophical reflection.
As Socrates taught, the unexamined life is not worth living.
Philosophy is a discipline unique in its methods and subject matter.
Studying its sources and mastering its methods are invaluable in your general undergraduate education.
You will learn to analyze complex ideas carefully and clearly; to eschew vague, impressionistic thinking in favor of critical, rigorous, precise reflection; to read with care, curiosity and wonder; to write in an organized and persuasive fashion.
The philosophy program at Yeshiva College attempts to strike a balance between courses that discuss the history of philosophy (that is major thinkers and movements) and courses that cover particular areas and specific problems.
Interdisciplinary courses probe the interface of philosophy with other fields, including religious thought (e.g., Epistemology of Judaism ; Metaphysics of Judaism ), mathematics (e.g., Axiomatic Set Theory ), computer science (e.g., Computability & Logic ), and political theory (e.g., Rawls Theory of Justice ).
Some of these courses provide perspectives unavailable at any other college.
The seminar (PHI 4931, 4932) concentrates in depth, either on a particular philosopher, or on a particular issue (such as free will, or modal logic, or contemporary ethical and political philosophy) or on a philosophical movement.

Welcome to the Department of Sociology at Yeshiva College.
The Sociology Department offers both a major and a minor in sociology as well as a correlate minor in public health.
A sociology degree is excellent preparation for graduate study or a career in law, criminal justice, social work, research, public administration, business, medicine, counseling, health care management or other service professions.
What Is Sociology?
From the American Sociological Association: Sociology is the study of social life, social change and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies and how people interact within these contexts.
Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports.
In fact, few fields have such broad scope and relevance for research, theory and application of knowledge.
"Because sociology addresses the most challenging issues of our time ,it is a rapidly expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create programs.
Sociologists understand social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces for social change and resistance and how social systems work.
The Sociology Department at Yeshiva College strives to provide students with rigorous and intellectually grounded understandings of the social and cultural world.
At its core, the sociological mission is rooted in social and cultural (including anthropological) theory and the scientific method.
Sociology majors and other students taking our courses are given opportunities to develop theoretical and analytical skills to evaluate and conduct social research and analysis.
The Department is committed to using these tools to understand and address social problems and inequalities in global, institutional, cultural, and interpersonal social relations.
Students are also encouraged to explore their own position in and relationship to society and culture.
The Department is dedicated to building sociological knowledge and skills that are applicable to a broad range of settings including the public and private sectors, and especially, in the pursuit of advanced academic and professional degrees.
Our hope is that graduates will be well equipped to be engaged citizens in an increasingly knowledge-intensive and diverse world.
Student Learning GoalsMajors in sociology will be able to demonstrate conceptual and theoretical skills to sociological topics and questions.
Majors in sociology will be able to apply methodological skills to sociological topics and questions.
Majors in sociology will be able to critically analyze sociological topics and questions.
Majors in sociology will be able to communicate effectively sociological topics and questions.
