“My dream is to be a physician assistant. Although the courses in Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are challenging, they are very interesting and rewarding. I took a speech communication class that was wonderful. The professor and the students were open-minded. The experience allowed me to break out of my shell.” MANOUCHEKA CLAIRJEUNE Chemistry Student
visit hofstra.edu/hclas a wired campus At Hofstra, students use the resources of the Internet in all aspects of campus life. For example, for his course “Introduction to Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies,” Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Dr. Daniel M. Varisco, who is fluent in Arabic, developed a Web site of interactive resources.
“One of my goals is to give my students an understanding of their responsibilities as American citizens. 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.”

“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.”

successful business careers begin at Zarb
The FRANK G. ZARB SCHOOL OF BUSINESS offers a full array of programs designed to prepare today’s students for roles as tomorrow’s business leaders. Students choose from a broad selection of majors, enhanced by an outstanding faculty, leading-edge facilities, and the proximity of New York City, which offers numerous internship and career opportunities. The Zarb School is one of 10 percent of business schools nationwide to be accredited in both accounting and business 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. Issues of ethics, software piracy, and global access considerations are also taught. 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. The music industry faces a challenge today: online piracy of copyrighted music. 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.
“To me, the best part about Hofstra is the professors. They do research, and they care about their students. They seem to love what they do. They’re willing to work with you outside of the classroom. I like when a professor says, ‘This is what I expect of you, and please come to me during office hours if you need help.’ So far at Hofstra, that’s been my experience, and that’s what has kept me here — the professors.” ADERA DOUGLAS-FREEMAN Marketing Student
Your studies will focus on business fundamentals as well as decision making and management in a diverse environment. In addition to internships, forums with business leaders, participation in academic clubs, and networking opportunities, you will attend small classes with accomplished, accessible professors.

School of Communication
“I like the idea of helping people develop their potential. I try to get students involved in a project that means something to them. I ask, What does the story say? What’s different about what you have to say? I like working on the process of creating, stressing the personal aspect.”

YOU’LL PREPARE FOR A CAREER WITH HANDS-ON, REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE — almost from the day you walk through the doors of Dempster Hall, home to one of the largest noncommercial broadcast facilities in the Northeast as well as NewsHub, our state-of-the-art converged newsroom and multimedia classroom.
accomplished faculty real-world experience
The SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION offers a liberal arts-based, interdisciplinary program of study in all forms of communication that balances the how and why we communicate. Students choose from a wide range of majors in radio/television/film; journalism, media studies, and public relations; and speech communication, rhetoric and performance studies. 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 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 Iraq War, and appreciate the power of radical street theater by studying PETA animal rights demonstrations and WTO protests about global environmental and economic issues. Every two years, Olympic broadcasting reaches roughly 20 percent of the world’s population. Olympic television production represents the cutting edge of industry practice and innovation, with the last four productions showcasing an unprecedented range of exciting nonlinear technologies. In “Olympic Programming and Production” (RTVF 184), students have investigated “behind-the-scenes” programming and producing at the 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Athens, Torino and Beijing, respectively. 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 materials such as brochures, media releases and special events.
“The School of Communication offers an abundance of resources. I often use the NewsHub as a place to get my assignments done or to check on what is going on in the news. The most valuable resource, for me, are my professors. As a public relations major, getting an internship is necessary to graduate. Since the professors in the school have a great deal of experience in their fields, they were able to help me find one. They really go out of their way to help.” MICHAEL TARANTINO Public Relations Student

Upon graduation, I remain in contact with my students and encourage them to join my alumni group for additional support.”

Professor, Curriculum and Teaching
a rewarding profession at the nexus of change
The SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES undergraduate programs nurture your communication, collaboration and leadership skills while preparing you for teaching certification or work in a health-related field, and laying the groundwork for continued learning. Whether you want to work with children, adolescents or adults, you will participate in meaningful field assignments and observations early on in your studies. 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. Using the highly interactive multimedia resources of Hagedorn Hall and the Hofstra Dome, you will develop the skills to contribute to society while gaining a sense of satisfaction from your work.
“As a recent alumna, I feel that Hofstra’s education program truly provided me with the tools to become a successful teacher. In addition to regular class work, my student teaching experience was very positive. From my first day of student teaching, I felt so prepared to teach the class on my own, and every day I found my skills improving. After graduation, I was confident to interview for teaching jobs and share the knowledge I acquired through Hofstra’s program.” DINA ROSAS, B.S.ED. ’09 Music Education

Honors College
“The Honors College curriculum is extremely valuable. The honors seminars cover a vast number of subject areas. They’re appealing also, because the seminars are usually classes that you most likely wouldn’t find in a major subject area, yet are extremely fascinating and informative. As a student in Honors College, you also have the opportunity to go on various trips and attend functions with your classmates. This goes to show, Honors College isn’t just about work. We play too!”
