History

Ferkauf grew out of Yeshiva University’s School of Education and Community Administration (1948-57) and Graduate School of Education (1957-65). It was named in 1965 in honor of Eugene and Estelle Ferkauf. It later became Ferkauf Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (1966-77) and Ferkauf Graduate School (1977-82).

In 1975, with the merger of the Departments of Psychology and Educational Psychology to form the University-wide Department of Psychology, Ferkauf began to develop as a school of psychology. In 1979, the School of Professional Psychology was established at Ferkauf Graduate School.
