Philosophy
"Torah im Derech Eretz" historically influenced the yeshiva's philosophy, but today it is strongly influenced by the haredi or, ultra-orthodox philosophy. However, Torah Vodaath is one of the many major haredi yeshivohs that allow its students to attend college while studying at the yeshiva. The great majority of the yeshiva's graduates go on to work in fields that are not related to the torah education that they received in yeshiva.
