Touro College and University System is a private university system, headquartered in New York City, New York, in the United States with branches throughout the US and in other countries. It was founded by Bernard Lander in 1971 and named for Isaac and Judah Touro^[3]^[1] and it's the largest private university in the US with Jewish roots.^[4] The university initially focused on higher education for the Jewish community, but it now serves a diverse population of over 18,000 students across 30 schools in four countries.^[5]

Touro has further expanded to include Touro University Nevada, Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, Paris,^[10] Berlin, Moscow and Jerusalem,^[11] Los Angeles,^[12] and Miami.^[13] Touro University Worldwide, founded in 2008,^[14] is the online branch of the university system.^[15]
