The person who administers the Ner Yisroel college program is sitting shiva this week. In short, they monitor the number of evenings per week (usually two) one can register for classes. Boys attend a number of local colleges such as Johns Hopkins, Univ Md Baltimore County,local community colleges, Towson, Univ Baltimore, and Loyola University. It does require attending summer sessions and most boys finish within 5 years with yeshiva credits counted towards the college degrees. Yes, college is secondary to Torah, but Ner Israel has since its early years been an advocate of merging serious Torah learning with the ability to obtain credentials to seek a parnasah too.
