In its relatively short history, Hofstra has<br />
established itself as a world-class<br />
institution of higher education and cultural<br />
enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra<br />
campus and the programs offered grow and<br />
change to meet the demands of our students<br />
and our community.<br />
Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school<br />
with all classes and offices housed in one<br />
building. Since those early days, Hofstra has<br />
evolved into an international institution with a<br />
student body hailing from 47 states and 78<br />
countries around the world. The beautiful<br />
campus is an accredited arboretum with 113<br />
buildings on 240 acres. There are more than<br />
4,000 students living on campus, and Hofstra<br />
offers them and all students an extensive array<br />
of academic and social activities. Additionally,<br />
Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means<br />
that students have easy access to the<br />
wondrous cultural, social and career offerings<br />
of the city.<br />
What has remained consistent throughout the<br />
years, however, is the sense of community on<br />
campus, the eagerness of our students to<br />
learn and the commitment of the Hofstra<br />
faculty and administration to provide a<br />
challenging education that encourages the<br />
pursuit of lifelong learning.<br />
The Colleges and Schools of the University<br />
are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and<br />
Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business,<br />
New College, School of Communication,<br />

Services, School of Law, School for University<br />

Recently, the University celebrated the opening<br />
of Hagedorn Hall, the new home of our School<br />
of Education and Allied Human Services. In<br />
2001 Hofstra University Honors College<br />
welcomed its first class. This new division of<br />
the University proved to be an immediate<br />
success, not only with University faculty and<br />
administrators, but among the 93 inaugural<br />
students. Every fall since, the number of<br />
entering freshmen has increased substantially.<br />
Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of<br />
the largest, most advanced non-commercial<br />
television facilities in the East. Students take<br />
classes and work in Dempster Hall, a<br />
sophisticated television production/postproduction<br />
facility with two broadcast-quality<br />
studios and control rooms; two advanced<br />
online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear<br />
digital editing systems and several cuts-only<br />
video work stations. Two satellite dishes are<br />
available with one dish providing special news<br />
feeds for the broadcast journalism room,<br />
which also has access to Associated Press,<br />
Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones services. In<br />
addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting<br />
student-produced programming to the entire<br />
campus on our own cable channels. Also<br />
located here is the University’s radio station<br />
(WRHU/88.7-FM), audio production studios, a<br />
film/video screening room, film editing rooms,<br />
