Choosing Your Path
It's All About You. Find Your Edge.
If you want a college that is large enough to support all your interests, yet small enough that you will have access to your professors - to be able to ask questions or seek help on assignments - look no further.
We believe Hofstra is the ideal size - big enough to offer 140 undergraduate degree programs, yet small in ways that matter, with an average class size of just 23 students.
Hofstra University offers a wealth of resources, from state-of-the art academic facilities and an extensive library to classrooms rich in technology. Even with nearly 8,000 undergraduate students, we emphasize learning big ideas in a small classroom setting where you can work closely with professors.
Whether you want to become a lawyer or a musician, or enter marketing, communications, science or education, we have a course of study that will give you the edge you need to succeed. And if you're unsure of your future career, Hofstra allows you the freedom to explore your options for a major well into your sophomore year.
Hofstra is among the largest private universities in the New York metropolitan area, yet we offer an intimate suburban campus that inspires learning and forming friendships.
