Zahava’sDad: Look at YCT’s website, and click on Alumni. You’ll see that a lot of them are rabbis at Orthodox shuls. I can’t tell how big the shuls are, though (though I don’t know why that matters). YCT seems unique in that it charges no tuition — are there other semicha-granting yeshivas like that?

RebDoniel: The study you mentioned is from the 50s. I don’t think any YU grads are taking jobs at mixed-seating shuls now. I don’t think there are more than a small handful of self-described Orthodox shuls with mixed seating nowadays. That was a temporary mid-20th century trend — maybe it had something to do with the meteoric rise of the Conservative movement around that time?
