At YU Global, we provide content in manageable pieces, allowing you to build your knowledge base according to your academic needs and career goals. Our program allows you to acquire job training, enter the workforce and return as more knowledge and skills are needed. This way you can focus your career growth in one area and increase your skill level through additional certificates or try multiple courses to ensure that you are in the right field.
Students can earn a certificate that can be stacked on top of other certificates resulting in a broader array of skills and a more comprehensive credential. Our certificates may eventually be used, if desired, toward earning a bachelor's degree. The model is geared to those who may be accessing the program for personal growth as well as those who need flexibility for family or work responsibilities.
YU Global employs the expertise of full-time and part-time faculty to develop the curriculum, design the courses, and manage updates and changes. Many of these faculty anchors are on the YU faculty; others have been hired specifically for YU Global. This includes both faculty with deep academic knowledge in their subject matter as well as instructors who have extensive experience in their profession.
Many of the classes are conveniently online, allowing students to work at their own pace from almost anywhere around the world. Select courses may need to be completed face-to-face, while others may be a hybrid of online and in-person instruction.
Yes, courses are open to students of all grade levels and experience. We offer separate cohorts for men and women.

Certificates range between 8 weeks to a year. Please review the course description for the cost of your chosen certificate.
While YU Global is not offering scholarships at the current time, participants may take out a loan from a lending agency that provides funding for certificate programs. In an exclusive partnership with YU Global, the Hebrew Free Loan Society will provide zero interest loans for qualifying participants, with a special loan for participants in our Cybersecurity course. Students living in the DC metro area may reach out to the Hebrew Free Loan Association of Greater Washington for zero interest loans to qualified borrowers in the DC metro area.
Many of our courses will begin in October with additional classes beginning in November and the following months.
Unfortunately, after payment has been made, we are unable to refund your payment. If you find you have joined the wrong certificate program, we may accommodate an in kind transfer to another course until completion of your first session.
