Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad West Coast Talmudical Seminary (YOEC) is a yeshiva college in Los Angeles, California. It is the largest yeshiva college on the West Coast of the United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the 90% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll genuinely connect with the program, the 20% graduation rate is a serious red flag that deserves a direct conversation with the school before committing. This is a highly specific institution — a small Chabad yeshiva with just 157 students — so it's worth considering only if intensive Torah study within a Chabad framework is exactly what you're seeking, not a stepping stone to a conventional degree. The $12,258 average net price is relatively affordable, but given the low graduation rate, families should ask hard questions about what completion actually looks like for students here.
