To go to college or not go to college. That has been a much-debated question even within the frum community. But despite the debate, the reality cannot be discounted. Those with a college degree have more job opportunities and income potential. In fact, 96% of college graduates will out-earn those without a college degree.
Between school tuition, tutors, the chagim, bar mitzvahs and weddings, it behooves any orthodox man or woman to find a way to increase their income potential so they can comfortably support their lifestyle.
While numerous frum programs have sprouted up over the last 20 years to address this need, Woodmont College remains unique as the only 100% online college for orthodox Jewish students.
Whether you’re in kollel, a yeshiva bochur, seminary student or you simply want to upgrade your credentials so you can better market yourself to your potential employers, Woodmont College will guide you through the college process from beginning to end.
One of the biggest deterrents to attending college is the hefty price tag and the resulting loans. But what if you could obtain a college degree from a private college for a fraction of the cost of many other accredited college?
For as little as $9,000, you can earn a BA in Judaic studies at Woodmont College accredited by the NECHE and accepted by many higher education institutions across the US.
Part of Woodmont’s mission is to support the frum community to earn a respectable parnassa. By offering low tuition as well as various scholarship options and need-based financial aid, Woodmont provides frum students with the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, regardless of their financial status.
Online learning did not appear suddenly during the corona lockdown.
Born from distance learning and correspondence courses, the world of online education has been developing and expanding alongside the digital world.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of online learning is its flexibility. You can choose when, where and how to learn.
For those with busy lives—already working or managing a family—this flexibility is golden and can be the difference between earning a degree and not earning a degree.
Woodmont offers online learning through different frameworks to meet its students’ needs including:
Because you’ve spent your whole life focused on Torah learning and hashkafa, attending college may seem like a regression, and possibly something even detrimental to your Torah growth.
But imagine a school that has the same mission as you—to maintain a strong Torah hashkafa while earning a degree that will help you obtain future financial stability.
Woodmont College is officially an Orthodox Jewish faith-based institution. Not only are most of the lecturers and administration frum, but the coursework, calendar, and environment are sensitive to the needs of Orthodox Jewish students.
In fact, due to Woodmont’s unique setup as an online frum college Woodmont is privately endorsed by leading rabbis and Torah scholars.
Woodmont College is determined to give you a college experience in the right environment that is both productive and inspiring.
On a practical level, college accreditation tells your potential employers that you attended a school that meets and complies with standards set by the US Dept. of Education.

In short, accreditation should be a requirement for any college you attend.
Woodmont College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
