Hofstra University

At Hofstra University, students get the advantages of a large university on a lush, green campus that has the atmosphere of a small college and all less than an hour from New York City. You`ll learn in small classes from accomplished faculty – not graduate assistants – who are passionate about their work, dedicated to teaching and eager to involve students in their research. And you`ll have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including one of the largest academic trading rooms in the country, three production studios, a converged multi-media newsroom, and Big Data and Robotics labs. Outside the classroom, being close to New York City gives students great opportunities for internships, networking, experiential learning, cultural and recreational activities. Choose from about 140 undergraduate and about 150 graduate programs, in liberal arts and sciences, business, communication, education, health sciences and human services, engineering and applied science and honors studies, as well as the Maurice A. Deane School of Law and Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.
