Those details matter if an applicant needs to establish how a particular credential was classified or accredited when it was awarded.
Yeshivath Beth Moshe is a specialized institution rather than a university organized around numerous colleges or professional schools. Religion and religious studies is the field identified in federal program reporting; applicants should confirm the current credential, curriculum, and course sequence directly with the institution.
Its reported student-to-faculty ratio is 9 to 1, with three full-time and three part-time faculty members counted in institutional reporting. At a school this small, the availability of a particular course or instructor may affect a student's schedule.

Yeshivath Beth Moshe is located in Scranton, in northeastern Pennsylvania's Lackawanna County. Students considering the school should plan around a small, specialized campus rather than the range of facilities associated with a large university.
Scranton has regional bus service, while access to classes and religious activities may depend on where a student lives. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport serves the region from nearby Avoca. Before committing to housing or a commute, applicants should confirm the location of their classes and the transportation they would need at the hours the school operates.
Yeshivath Beth Moshe's educational focus is Jewish religious learning. Its yeshiva identity and specialized field of study indicate a curriculum centered on religious texts and scholarship, not a broad selection of secular majors.
Applicants should ask for the school's current mission statement and catalog to understand its stated religious expectations, instructional approach, and goals for students. Those documents are particularly useful for determining whether daily study requirements and the available credential fit a student's personal and academic plans.
