Being a short train ride away from Manhattan gives our students countless opportunities. And living on a suburban campus, a recognized arboretum, gives them an idyllic place to study, live and work.

Through small classes, an intimate campus environment and personal attention – we get to know our students. Yet Hofstra boasts the resources of a large university: state-of-the-art facilities, clubs and cultural events, NCAA Division I athletics, and an alumni network more than 131,000 strong.

Hofstra students learn on campus before stepping out into the world. And then our New York metropolitan home gives students countless internship and job opportunities.

A commitment to service, to engagement, to the world around us…with the individual student journey honored above all else. Find out how our students, faculty and staff describe their Hofstra journey and what pride and purpose mean to them.

Every university talks about its great faculty, but few can support that claim. At Hofstra University, our faculty – almost all of whom hold the highest degree in their field – are noted scholars and excellent teachers who motivate, mentor, listen to and advise students in small classes, while remaining committed to research and their professions.
