At Hofstra, you'll have all the resources you need - excellent library resources with extensive online and print collections, state-of-the-art classrooms, learning and laboratory facilities, and extensive wired and wireless Internet access, including the only Internet2 connection among private colleges on Long Island.

A diverse mix of cultural, social, athletic and recreational activities delivers the full college experience. Hofstra offers students the opportunity to live and learn on our beautiful, 240-acre campus on Long Island and have easy access to the academic, cultural and career opportunities in the New York City metropolitan area.

Hofstra University is a private institution whose primary mission is to provide a quality education to its students in an environment that encourages, nurtures, and supports learning through the free and open exchange of ideas, for the betterment of humankind. Hofstra University is fully committed to academic freedom and to the transmission, advancement, and preservation of knowledge for its own academic community and for the community at large. Hofstra University offers undergraduate and graduate programs taught by a research-active and professionally engaged faculty. Academic excellence guides everything the University undertakes.

Hofstra University's undergraduate education provides a firm foundation in the liberal arts and sciences designed to encourage intellectual curiosity. This broadly based education develops students' analytical and critical thinking, strengthens their communication skills (oral and written), promotes cross-cultural competencies and provides information literacy and technological skills that prepare students to become lifelong learners.

Hofstra University is dedicated to the pre-professional, professional, masters and doctoral programs that support a wide range of career aspirations.

Hofstra University is devoted to recruiting and retaining a highly qualified and diverse academic community of students, faculty, staff and administrators respectful of the contributions and dignity of each of its members.

Hofstra University's faculty is committed to excellence in teaching, scholarly research and service. The University emphasizes and supports the creation and synthesis of knowledge as well as its dissemination. We believe the best education for students is one informed by their teachers' scholarly pursuits.

Hofstra University is committed to providing the informational and technological resources required for learning and the advancement of knowledge.

Hofstra University strives to cultivate students' social and ethical responsibility, aesthetic sensibility, creativity, and emotional and physical well-being.

Hofstra University offers educational, co-curricular and cultural programs and activities that foster an awareness of local, national and global issues, encouraging students to be active citizens and contributors to their local, national and global communities.

Hofstra University recognizes its important role in our local community and in participating in a broader national and international dialogue. We offer programs and seek opportunities that mutually benefit the Hofstra community and those beyond our campus.

Approaching the challenge of education from different, though complementary, vantage points, the goals of the University and its students are similar; both seek a learning experience which will match the resources of students to the needs of the community.

At Hofstra, students will find commitment to the belief that college is not merely preparation but rather an actual part of adult life. They come here, not to find an agreeable retreat, but to actively, energetically and enthusiastically shape the values, interests and talents that will give their lives direction.

Hofstra students are assisted in this purpose by teachers highly proficient in their fields, by strong counseling and guidance services and by a sound physical fitness program. They are free to choose between such varied educational modes as Hofstra's New College with its own progressive style and nearly infinite interdisciplinary possibilities presented by the University's extensive curriculum.

Students come to Hofstra as freshmen from their high schools, as transfer students from other colleges and universities and as adults seeking new meanings and/or careers. Noteworthy, in terms of the University's educational quality, is the fact that about 35 percent of new students entering Hofstra each year have completed some previous college study.

Hofstra welcomes students without regard to race, creed or national origin and extends the opportunity to develop the initiative and responsibility required for effective participation in a democratic society.

First dedicated to providing a firm foundation in the liberal arts and sciences, Hofstra today offers more than 2,000 undergraduate courses in 98 possible majors, plus distinguished graduate programs in law, business, education, and the liberal arts and sciences.

Founded in 1935 as Long Island's first coeducational college, Hofstra has evolved into a major independent university. Significant indicators of its excellence may be seen in the fact that, among private Island colleges, Hofstra is currently the only one deemed worthy of granting the Phi Beta Kappa distinction; and it is the Island's private school with the most students going on to earn graduate and professional degrees, an important yardstick for rating the academic capabilities of a university's graduates.

The wise applicant should remember that when all rhetoric and stereotypes of something called "college life" are removed, education comes back to the basic, "did you learn anything?" not "did you make the grades?" or "did you take the required courses?" but, "did you learn?"

At Hofstra, that means the emphasis is on developing judgment, flexibility of mind, powers of self-education and insight into human behavior as opposed to mere acquisition of skills. The University's administration and faculty believe these are the most hardy and permanent seeds to sow in the rapidly shifting environment of the present and future.
