=== College credit ===
{{See also|Midrasha#Certifications}}
Some yeshivas permit students to attend college. Often there are arrangements for the student to receive credit towards a college degree for their yeshiva studies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.YeshivaDegree.com |title=Guide To Degree Completion Programs for Yeshiva Students |year=2011 |publisher=YeshivaDegree.com |access-date=2018-10-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402100219/http://www.yeshivadegree.com/ |archive-date=2012-04-02 |url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Yeshiva University]] in New York provides a year's worth of credit for yeshiva studies.<ref>[https://www.yu.edu/israel-program S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program]</ref> Institutions with similar arrangements in place include [[Lander College for Men]], [[Yeshivas Ner Yisroel]] and [[Hebrew Theological College]].

[[#United_States|As above]], some American ''yeshivot'' in fact ''award'' the degrees [[Bachelor of Talmudic Law]] (4 years cumulative study), [[Master of Rabbinic Studies]] / [[Master of Talmudic Law]] (six years), and (at ''Ner Yisroel'') the Doctorate in Talmudic Law (10 years).
These degrees are [[Higher education accreditation in the United States|nationally accredited]] by the [[Association of Advanced Rabbinical and Talmudic Schools]], and may then grant access to graduate programs such as law school.

Non-Orthodox institutions, typically, require that students earn a [[master's degree]], inherent in the Ordination program. The program is then often [[Course credit|credit-based]], and may require a thesis.
