Did you know...?

Students benefit from Hofstra's relationships with the North Shore-LIJ Health System, the nation's second-largest nonprofit secular health system, and the new Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University.
Hofstra's new Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) program features an innovative instructional model that combines distance learning, hybrid courses, and traditional, classroom-based instruction.
Experiential learning (e.g., internships, externships, and field experiences) is integrated throughout each program.
Programs are nationally accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE), Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA), American Art Therapy Institute (AATA), and the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA).
Programs in creative arts therapy, marriage and family therapy, mental health counseling, rehabilitation counseling in mental health, speech-language pathology, and physician assistant studies all lead to licensure and/or certification.
The rehabilitation counseling, physician assistant studies, and speech-language pathology programs have earned national rankings in U.S. News & World Report.
