Study CS/Data Analytics in Midtown Manhattan with Total Tuition Around $31,000?Yeshiva University Katz School 2027 Spring Admission Guide

In June 2026, HYP Global invited the admissions team from the Katz School of Science and Health at Yeshiva University (YU Katz) to host an official graduate admissions Q&A session and provide detailed guidance on the 2027 Spring intake.

The session covered the school’s location advantages, STEM graduate programs, scholarship opportunities, flexible English proficiency policies, international student support services, and key application timelines.

1. Midtown Manhattan Location Advantage & Small-Class Learning Environment

For international students, location plays an important role in accessing internship opportunities and building professional networks during graduate study.

1. A Prime Location in the Heart of Manhattan

The Katz School campus is located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

Convenient Access to Global Business and Technology Hubs

• The Empire State Building is approximately a 10-minute walk from campus;

• Times Square is approximately a 15-minute walk away.

Located in one of the world’s leading business and technology centers, students have convenient access to:

• Wall Street financial institutions;

• New York’s “Silicon Alley” technology ecosystem;

• Global companies in finance, technology, healthcare, and other industries.

This strategic location provides students with valuable opportunities to explore local internships and professional experiences through CPT and OPT pathways.

2. Personalized Small-Class Learning Model

Compared with large lecture-based programs, the Katz School emphasizes a more personalized learning environment.

Key features include:

• Average class size of approximately 15–20 students;

• Student-to-faculty ratio of around 1:15;

• Individualized academic support.

For students transitioning from different academic backgrounds or entering technology fields for the first time, faculty members provide additional guidance and academic resources to help students successfully adapt to graduate-level study.

2. Affordable STEM Graduate Education in Manhattan: Scholarship Opportunities

While New York City is known for its high cost of living and education expenses, the Katz School provides competitive scholarship opportunities for international students.

STEM Fellows Graduate Scholarship Program

International students admitted to eligible STEM graduate programs at the Katz School may automatically be considered for the STEM Fellows Graduate Scholarship Program, without submitting a separate scholarship application.

After scholarship consideration, the estimated total tuition cost for the full graduate program (approximately 1.5–2 years depending on program structure) may be around:

$31,000 in total tuition

This provides students with an opportunity to pursue a STEM master’s degree in Manhattan with a more accessible tuition investment.
