Yes they can. The courts have ruled time and time again that they can mandate the vaccines as long as they allow religious and medical exemptions.
SCOTUS just tossed the Indiana University suit.

The Supreme Court on Thursday denied a request by a group of students to block Indiana University's vaccine requirement for students.
The decision allows the university to enforce its mandate that students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to return to campus and attend in-person classes in the fall.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who serves as the circuit justice for the federal appeals court involved in the case, made the decision to reject the students' request without taking up the case or consulting other justices, suggesting there was not much legal justification for the request. She did not provide an explanation for her decision.
