Touro College is about to open its doors in Miami Beach. Touro College South, as the institution will be known in Florida, has received approvals from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the Commission for Independent Education of the Department of Education of the State of Florida to begin offering courses leading to baccalaureate and masters degrees in September 2006.

Most people are not aware of the size and scope of Touro College or of its important place in the world of higher education. Founded only 35 years ago and led since its inception by its trailblazing and visionary Founding President, Dr. Bernard Lander, Touro College has more than 22,000 students at campus locations in New York, California, Nevada, Jerusalem, Berlin and Moscow. Touro College has demonstrated the ability to provide quality secular education and professional training, and advanced Jewish studies, to students in the New York area for decades, and has recently established Touro College Los Angeles to serve the needs of the significant Jewish community on the West Coast.
