Master's Programs

At Azrieli, we have designed our Master of Science degree requirements to be theoretical and practical, innovative and time tested, research-based and hands-on. In addition to foundational and advanced coursework, students must engage in substantive field work that complements their studies.

Students will complete the following to graduate:

  1. All 7 required core curricular courses
  2. Three (3) elective courses
  3. Two (2) semesters of student teaching in conjunction with the two semesters of Professional Enhancement Practicum or Curriculum Internship classes
  4. The portfolio - described below

Please note that students must complete a total of twelve (12) courses, one year (2 semesters) of student teaching, and their portfolio. The total number credits that a student must obtain before they may graduate is 36.

Portfolio Requirement

Students are required to complete a portfolio demonstrating many aspects of their education at Azrieli. Full information on this issue will be introduced to the students via workshop with the director of the Masters' program at the start of the semester. The portfolio should be completed during a student's final semester at Azrieli.

Student Handbook

The Master of Science Student Handbook (which can be found above) contains vital information for our students, including policies and procedures pertaining to academic requirements, the classroom, grading, attendance, the number of credits required for graduation, course information and much more. The handbook is a "living document" in that changes to it are anticipated as new policies and procedures are developed. It is therefore imperative that you reference the handbook as often as possible.

Current Students FAQ

The Azrieli Office is located on the Wilf Campus in Belfer Hall, Room 311, and can be reached by phone at (646)-592-6350, fax 212.960.0184, or by email at azrieli@yu.edu.

The location on the web where you can access all your student information is InsideTrack.

You can view information pertaining to your admission to the program, requirements and forms from the Registrar’s Office and your tuition/bill. You can also log in to My YU to update your contact information, marital status, etc. First-time users will need to create an account by designating a login ID and PIN. See the links below to get started:

Upon admission to Azrieli, students are assigned a Yeshiva University Mail System email account that works through Gmail. To find your login information, go to www.yu.edu/findid. Non-registered students cannot access those accounts which are needed to receive correspondence from the program and to access the Canvas Course Management System. If you prefer to use a different email as your primary email, you must set up your YU email account to forward to your primary email address so that you may still receive important communications from the program.

The primary method of accessing course work and corresponding with the professors is via the Canvas Course Management System. A useful tutorial on Canvas can be viewed here. For access to the system, a user name and password are necessary. Every student requires access to Canvas to proceed in the Azrieli programs.

To access Canvas, visit https://yu.instructure.com. You will need your Active Directory (AD) credentials (username and password) to login to Canvas. If you don’t know your AD username and password, you can find it here: http://yu.edu/findid

If you have trouble logging into Canvas: Email – canvassupport@yu.eduor phone (212)960-5438

Not sure about your YU Email username or password? Visit www.yu.edu/findid.

Your personalized ID# will be printed on your acceptance letter. Please memorize and/or keep this number handy as this is the number that the school uses to identify you (very much like a social security number). Keep in mind that this number is different than the number that’s on your picture ID card and should only be shared with faculty or staff members if necessary.

All new students must obtain an ID card through the Security Office located at 521 West 185th Street. ID cards can only be obtained 24-48 hours following the first semester’s registration.

Students apply for parking through the Security Office at 521 West 185th Street. See the Department of Safety and Security website for more information.

An email will be sent by the Azrieli office to inform you of the dates for registration. 

Important: Students must register for courses by the deadline specified on the Academic Calendar. Students not registering for coursework during the fall or spring semesters must retain their student status by registering for a Leave of Absence. Failure to do so will be considered as having withdrawn from the program. A Leave of Absence form can be obtained by sending an email to bradley.avrahami@yu.edu or marian.reiss@yu.edu. It is the responsibility of each student to abide by the registration deadlines to avoid financial penalties.

Students who wish to add or drop a course following official registration can go to InsideTrack and drop the course using the same RAC# that was provided for registration. To avoid financial penalties, the student should be sure to follow the deadlines listed on the academic calendar for adding or dropping a course.

The Registrar’s Office will not register students with financial holds. Students cannot be added to Canvas for a course until they are officially registered. Therefore, any financial hold must be resolved before registration is complete. A student whose registration is not complete will not get a grade even though they may have attended class. The professor is unable to assign a grade to a student who is not registered. Contact the Office of Student Finance with any questions.

Log into InsideTrack and from the Main Menu, select Student and Financial Aid. Select Student Records to view your grades and transcript.

Our graduate master's programs are registered and approved by the New York State Education Department Office of Higher Education but do not lead to NYS teaching certification.

Azrieli master’s graduates may qualify for the teudat hora-ah, teacher certification, from the Israeli Ministry of Education. Please email bradley.avrahami@yu.edu for a letter to present to the Ministry upon completion of the degree.

It is the student’s responsibility to apply for graduation once their coursework, student teaching (PEP), and portfolio are completed. Graduation forms are submitted to Ms. Marian Reiss, marian.reiss@yu.edu, with proof of payment from the Student Accounts Office. Please note applications will not be processed without the accompanying fee.

As part of the registration process, students are required to submit their current mailing address, phone number and email address. In the case of any changes, the student must notify the registrar in addition to the Azrieli Office.

Yes! During the spring and fall semesters, doctoral students who are working on their dissertation must register for Doctoral Seminar II. Registering for it will grant student access to the YU library for the semester. Please refer to the Doctoral Handbook for information about time limitations for completion of the dissertation. Doctoral students (those working on dissertations and otherwise) are not required to register for classes during the summer semester.

Students should fill out a Leave of Absence Form and send it to Marian Reiss or Bradley Avrahami to process at the Registrar's office.  Students may take one leave of absence in a 12 month period or they will have to reapply to the program. 

Please contact us at (646)-592-6350 or azrieli@yu.edu or check YU's Student Toolkit.
