a distinct experience Imagine a college experience that combines outstanding faculty, small classes, a multitude of study abroad options, a vibrant extracurricular life and a campus so beautiful it has been recognized as an arboretum. Now, add to this New York City and all the amazing internship opportunities and cultural experiences that abound. Sound too good to be true?

Hardly. This is Hofstra University! At Hofstra you will live and learn in a community of first-rate professors who place a priority on teaching. You will share your classrooms, residence halls, clubs and organizations with students from nearly every U.S. state and 71 countries. You will have the chance to explore majors ranging from accounting to African studies, English to engineering, and finance to film. And you will do all this on a campus bursting with vitality, including more than 170 student clubs and organizations, 37 residence halls, 17 NCAA Division I sports, and more than 500 cultural events and activities planned each year. Then there is New York City. The city is less than an hour from our campus and easily accessed by a shuttle to the local train station. Whether exploring the museums, theaters, neighborhoods and parks that make New York City the world’s cultural nexus, or interning at top businesses and organizations in the world’s capital for finance, communications, entertainment, law and international trade, you will find the city a resource like no other.


a teaching faculty

Recipients of our nation’s top academic honors, including Emmy Award® winners, members of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Humanities and New York Public Library Fellows, our faculty are world-renowned for their expertise.

More importantly, our faculty are devoted to teaching. Only faculty – not graduate assistants – teach our courses, and we keep classes small so that interaction between student and professor becomes an inherent part of the classroom experience. The bonds you build here naturally lead to future endeavors in which you might help a professor with a research project or seek a professor’s guidance with regard to graduate or professional school.

“ There’s no cookie-cutter mold here. We get to know students as individuals – their strengths and challenges. And we help them reach their potential.”

>> Jean Giebel Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Drama and Dance


expand your world Students today need an education that prepares them for an interconnected world. The rapid expansion of world trade, the Internet and the global nature of news organizations continually remind us that, in order to be successful, students need an extensive awareness of other cultures and societies. Your exposure to a deeper understanding of the world begins at Hofstra, where you will interact with students from 49 U.S. states and territories and 71 countries who are choosing from about 140 undergraduate program options and more than 170 clubs and organizations. The student from Vermont who comes to Hofstra to study music and the student from Peru who is here to study computer science may meet through their shared interest in writing for the student-run weekly newspaper. Next, you have New York City, which has always been one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. Our students constantly utilize the city as an interactive educational and professional resource. With the United Nations, multinational corporations, and ethnic neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Little Italy, a day in New York City is like a trip around the world. Hofstra’s study abroad programs complement “Having recently graduated from Hofstra, experiences on campus I can easily say that my study abroad experience was truly unforgettable and in New York City. and was the perfect conclusion to an With programs in incredible four years at Hofstra.” Australia, Chile, China, Ecuador, England, France, the Galápagos Islands, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mali, Mexico, the — Christina Martin Netherlands and Spain, and a program that tours all of Europe, our B.A., Political Science, 2009 students have an extraordinary array of opportunities to explore the world. All our study abroad programs allow you to earn Hofstra credits and are taught by Hofstra faculty. Additionally, you may take advantage of a myriad of other approved study abroad programs. Whether you are studying the economies of Latin America in Chile, the Renaissance in Italy, or geology and evolutionary history in the Galápagos Islands, you will find yourself exposed to different cultures, political views and lifestyles. The combination of experiences – from New York City to study abroad – gives Hofstra students a substantial advantage after college. They are well-prepared to become leaders in their professional lives, fully cognizant of the interconnected world in which we live. “My recent trip with Hofstra’s Center for Civic Engagement to Togo and Ghana was truly transformational. It shook the world I thought I knew and broadened my view of the world. The term “lesser developed country” is no longer simply a concept in a textbook. I now know some of the struggles facing an LDC and can associate the term with more than just a definition. When I hear the word ‘Africa,’ I don't think of pictures in National Geographic; instead, I think of the friends I made while I was there and the experiences we shared.”

— Anthony Lucci B.A., Political Science and Mathematical Economics (dual major), Class of 2011
