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

Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business,
New College, School of Communication,
School of Education and Allied Human

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