Hofstra University: a dynamic college experience

At Hofstra University, students live, work and study on a beautiful, state-of-the-art campus that’s only 25 miles east of Manhattan. Our 244-acre suburban campus is lush, green and spacious, with ivy-covered buildings and cuttingedge facilities, just minutes from all the adventure and opportunity New York City has to offer.

With the top-notch resources and wide-ranging programs of a large university, and the sense of community and personal attention of a small college, Hofstra is a great place for students who are looking for a traditional campus experience without sacrificing the networking opportunities, internship experiences, and cultural offerings of a bustling metropolis.

Hofstra students have endless opportunities for experiential learning, on and off campus. Opportunities are available to conduct research with a distinguished professor in our innovative labs on campus, including a big data lab, a robotics and advanced manufacturing lab, and a cell and tissue engineering lab; intern with top-tier companies in finance or media, in the state Legislature or Congress; or work in our cutting-edge facilities such as the Martin B. Greenberg Trading Room, equipped with 34 Bloomberg terminals, or WRHU-88.7 FM, Radio Hofstra University, which has been named a top college radio station in the country by The Princeton Review (Best Colleges, 2015-2017 editions) and won a prestigious Marconi Award from the National Association of Broadcasters in 2014.

As a Hofstra student, you can choose to live and learn in one of our 35 residence halls, each with a unique flair, community and life of its own. We also offer nine living/learning communities, which give students the opportunity to live with many of the same students they are in classes with, and well as students who share the same passion for leadership, health sciences, or the visual or performing arts.

Since its founding in 1935, Hofstra has evolved into an internationally renowned university that continues to achieve recognition as an institution of academic excellence. Hofstra has 25 academic accreditations and 28 total accreditations, including consistent recognition on the Best College lists of U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review, Fiske Guide to Colleges, Washington Monthly and Forbes Magazine.

Hofstra was named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for eight consecutive years (2008-2015) and is the only university to host three consecutive U.S. presidential debates (2008, 2012 and 2016).

Hofstra offers six undergraduate degrees with approximately 160 undergraduate program options. More than 100 dual-degree program options are also offered, giving students the opportunity to earn both a graduate and undergraduate degree in less time than if each degree was pursued separately.
