Created as an independent institution that would support and strengthen the Jewish community, Touro has remained steadfast in its commitment to Jewish continuity and, more broadly, to humankind. Since its inception, Touro has served and supported diverse communities, making world-class educational opportunities accessible to all members of society, across all races, nations, and creeds.

In 1790, George Washington visited the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, and spoke eloquently of democracy, ethics, equal opportunity, and the American ideal. Little did he know how far his words would carry. Washington's vision inspired Isaac and Judah Touro, leaders in colonial America, to pioneer their family's efforts to enrich all people's lives, regardless of creed or color, through educational opportunities, spiritual outreach, and vocational enterprise. The Touro family began providing significant endowments for universities, the first free library in North America, independent health facilities across the United States, and communities in Israel. In 1970, in the tradition established by the early Jewish-American leaders for whom it is named, Dr. Bernard Lander founded Touro College to strengthen the Judaic tradition and serve the broader community with compassion and dignity. Chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York, the College welcomed its first 35 students in the Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1971. From humble beginnings, Dr. Lander built a flourishing institution that reaches across the country and the world—now enrolling over 19,000 students a year in a broad range of disciplines, including business, law, social work, Jewish Studies, and technology. Each decade has ushered in a wave of new academic and professional programs designed to give students an increasingly competitive world. The Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center and the School for Lifelong Education opened, as well as a college for recent immigrants. The latter would eventually evolve into the New York School of Career and Applied Studies (NASCAR). Touro University California and the School of Health Sciences were established, introducing colleges of osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences. Touro expanded its undergraduate offerings with new campuses in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Since 2000, the Touro network has grown to include international sites in Paris and Berlin and coastal campuses in Los Angeles and Miami. In 2004-5, the new Touro University Nevada launched programs in osteopathic medicine, nursing, occupational and physical therapy, and education. From 1998 to 2007, Touro operated an online division of Touro University, Touro University International. Between 2007-2009 the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Pharmacy opened in Harlem. Touro University Worldwide was formed to offer professional degree programs online, and in 2011, New York Medical College, in Valhalla, NY, became part of the Touro family. In 2010, when Dr. Alan Kadish took over as president of Touro following Dr. Lander's esteemed tenure, he renewed our commitment to ensure that even as we grow, each campus, every program, and all of our students are held to the standard set for us over 220 years ago.

Inspired by the democratic ethos enunciated by George Washington at Newport, Rhode Island in 1790, the Touro family provided significant endowments for universities, the first free library and community health facilities in the United States.

Touro College was founded in New York City in 1970 by Dr. Bernard Lander as a Liberal Arts college. Since the 1970s, the college's expansion has reached California, Nevada, Israel, Russia, and Germany. In 2001, Dr. Lander asked Sara Nachama to work together and establish Touro College in Berlin. The decision to choose Germany's capital as the new campus for Touro College was based on the college's profound Jewish history and the unification of Berlin communities. In the Fall Semester 2003, Touro Berlin opened with 18 students studying the Bachelors in International Business program, which eventually became the Bachelor in Business Management degree. In 2005, Dr. Lander was inspired by a visit to the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and wanted to set up a Holocaust Institute at Touro. The Lander Institute for Communication and Tolerance was established on the Touro College Berlin campus in 2006. In the fall semester of 2007, the department welcomed its teaching staff for the Master in Holocaust Communication program. The MBA program was introduced shortly after in 2010, and the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology was established in 2013. At Touro College Berlin, we aim to bridge the gap between American and German educational systems and create a multicultural environment conducive to learning.

At Touro, our mission and vision are driven by our international, American, and Jewish values. We embrace students from all over the globe and strive to provide high-quality learning. Our campus is situated in the charming Charlottenburg district of Berlin. Touro College Berlin was established in 2003 in a historic Bauhaus villa with a profound history. Our campus's home originally belonged to the Lindemann family and was designed by German architect Bruno Paul. When the Nazis seized power in the 1930s, the Lindemann home at Am Rupenhorn became the official residence of Hanns Kerrl, the Reichskirchsminister (The Reich's Church Minister). When the war ended in 1945, the house was handed over to Allied Forces and was used as a learning center for the British Military in the years following the war. It was eventually handed back to the Berlin government and was used as a pedagogical and educational center in the 1950s. The campus was acquired by Touro College in 2003 with a class of just 18 students in the first Bachelor in Business program. Touro College Berlin offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology, business management, and holocaust studies accredited in the United States and Germany.
