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 244acre suburban campus is lush, green and spacious, with ivy-covered buildings and cutting-edge facilities, just minutes from all the adventure and opportunity New York City has to offer.

With the top-notch resources and wideranging 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 was named the top college radio station in the country by The Princeton Review (Best Colleges, 2015 and 2016 editions) and won a prestigious Marconi Award from the National Association of Broadcasters in 2014.

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 (20082015) 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 dualdegree 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.

All classes at Hofstra are taught by our distinguished faculty members, all committed to excellence in teaching, scholarly research and service. With an average undergraduate class size of 21 and a studentfaculty ratio of 13-to-1, students are challenged and encouraged to debate, question, conduct research, discuss and think critically in an open, collaborative learning environment.
