I also want to prepare them for life after Hofstra so they are able to enter the workforce capable of critical thinking. As their mentor, I treat students as unique, responsible adults. I question them about what they really want and provide advisement. By encouraging students to think about and be proactive with their future, I help them focus on what’s important — their goals.” RICHARD I. HIMELFARB, PH.D., Associate Professor of Political Science

“ Being a teacher is a truly gratifying experience. My goal with students is twofold – to teach them legal principles and to demonstrate how the law affects current public policy. By integrating real-life situations into lessons, the law becomes illuminating. I provide students with cases they can relate to, and I encourage open discussion in relaxed, yet structured classes. It’s truly a pleasure to share knowledge that students will use and to act as their mentor.”

STUART L. BASS, J.D., M.P.A. Professor of Accounting, Taxation, and Legal Studies in Business

The Zarb School is one of only 10 percent of business schools nationwide to be accredited in both business and accounting by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Hofstra’s curriculum is designed to teach you proven business theory through real-world examples. In IT 123, students construct a local area network (LAN). The focus is on an in-depth study of networking technology involving the use of Novell software. Ethics, software piracy, and global access considerations are also examined. When students enroll in MKT 126 (Sports Marketing), they learn about the ever-changing sports marketing industry, including spectator relations, marketing and media promotions, special events and sponsor relations. They also discuss practical, day-to-day issues that sports organizations face. As a student in LEGL 125, you will learn about the issues behind today’s headlines. This class is just one of the many engaging courses you’ll find at Hofstra to help you develop the skills, background and contacts you need to succeed in a contemporary, global business environment. Your studies will focus on business fundamentals as well as decision making and management in a diverse environment.

In “American Public Address” (SPCM 128), students learn how to recognize and evaluate effective persuasion by political figures, social activists and other famous Americans. Students gain an understanding of the power of language from watching Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, learn to identify the strengths and weaknesses in opposing arguments by examining congressional and public debates over the war in Afghanistan, and appreciate the power of radical street theater by studying PETA animal rights demonstrations and WTO protests about global environmental and economic issues. In “Public Relations Campaigns” (PR 107), the class operates as a public relations agency on a pro bono basis for a nonprofit client. Students meet with the client for background research, create a start-to-finish strategic proposal, make a formal presentation to the client, and, with the client’s approval, spend the semester executing the plan, which may include producing materials such as brochures, media releases and special events.

In “Classroom Perspectives and Issues: Elementary Education Grades 1-6” (ELED 123A), student-teachers engage in a self-study of their teaching behavior while analyzing the issues concerning classroom structures, equity, diversity, inclusion, assessment and integration of the curriculum. The role of play as a learning condition is examined in “Young Children’s Movement, Music, Rhythmic Activities and Play for the Classroom” (ELED 111B), as students explore the development of movement, rhythmic activities, music, and aesthetic and creative abilities in children. Community health program students examine global patterns of disease, health conditions in countries around the world, and international health initiatives in courses such as “Stress Management” (HPFS 69) and “Global Health Issues” (HPFS 160). Faculty members in Hofstra’s School of Education, Health and Human Services will help you become an advocate for those you teach and serve.
