Who it’s a good fit for

Talmudical Seminary of Bobov is a private nonprofit university in Brooklyn, New York, where nearly every degree awarded is in Philosophy & Religious Studies. The fit is narrow and specific: a student who wants to study religion in a setting where affordability is among the highest we track.

Graduates earn below the median at comparable institutions, and return is below the levels seen at many peers. Most graduates are estimated to go on to further study rather than directly into work, and the four-year earnings figure counts only graduates who are not enrolled.

Access is well above average and affordability is among the highest we track. Families in the lowest income band pay less than the published cost on average, and even those in the highest income band pay less than the sticker price.

The admission rate is above the median for comparable institutions. The program mix is concentrated in philosophy and religious studies, and the earnings figure is measured during a period when many graduates are still in school.

Data scope & methodology

Structured payloads generated Governed hub narrative Governed spoke corpus

Four-year earnings describe cohorts of completers. Figures for other horizons describe different cohorts and are not joined into a career-growth projection.

Azimuth's overall rank and pillar percentiles come from the school profile. Absolute pillar ranks, city, enrollment and official-site links are shown only when structured data supplies them.

Detailed earnings, cost, admissions and program values come from the endpoint responsible for each measure. Missing values are not replaced with zero. Value-added estimates are model associations, not causal effects.

Figures are refreshed with each data release, at most a quarter apart. The underlying source dates can be earlier than the release.

Explanatory text is AI-assisted drafting checked against those figures; it is not an additional data source.

  7. Parent PLUS debt, payments and GPS illustration. Stored payments use Financial GPS loan and repayment assumptions. The adjustable spectrum applies the published framework to annual student payments divided by earnings minus an expense allowance; its initial allowance is 150% of the federal poverty guideline for one person, for the year the API serves. It is an illustration rather than a school rating. The parent table is the 10-year payment on the median Parent PLUS as a share of household income above 200% of the guideline for a household of three: under 6% Safe, 6–10% Caution, over 10% High pressure. Parent PLUS uses the completer median where available, otherwise the all-borrower median; these describe different borrowing populations.
