At Hofstra, you will be part of a time-honored tradition of excellence and scholarship.

In the natural sciences, students learn in modern facilities using cutting-edge technologies, including a science building with 20 laboratories and a rooftop observatory. Through computerized Celestron and radio telescopes in the Hofstra Observatory, students can see Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and the Andromeda Galaxy. Hofstra students have the opportunity to use a Beowulf-class supercomputer designed to support research and training in physics and chemistry.

In BIO 110A, students travel to the Galápagos Islands and Ecuador to explore one of the most geographically exciting and biologically diverse places on Earth. Students learn how to gather and analyze field data, and are provided with opportunities to visit local highlights such as the Cotopaxi stratovolcano.

In the social sciences, students learn to interpret human behavior by exploring the dynamics of individuals and groups. Each year, political science students are invited to become interns for The Washington Semester Program. They have the opportunity to intern in Congress, the executive branch, the federal judiciary and various nongovernmental organizations. This experience cultivates important relationships for future careers.

In the arts, students learn to express themselves and develop their talents. Imagine the experience of performing or exhibiting your work in any one of the galleries and theaters on campus!

The living arts of drama and dance offer the chance to express emotions, thoughts, and opinions, as well as entertain and inform.

“One of my goals is to give students an understanding of their responsibilities as American citizens. I also want to prepare them for life after Hofstra so they are able to enter the

workforce capable of critical thinking. As their mentor, I treat students as unique, responsible adults. I question them about what they really want and provide

advisement. By encouraging students to think about and be proactive with their future, I help them focus on what’s important — their goals.”

RICHARD I. HIMELFARB, PH.D.Associate Professor of Political Science

accomplished faculty real-world experienceThe SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION offers a liberal arts-based, interdisciplinary program of study in all forms of communication that balances the how and why we communicate. Students choose from a wide range of majors in radio/television/film; journalism, media studies, and public relations; and speech communication, rhetoric and performance studies.

In “American Public Address” (SPCM 128), students learn how to recognize and evaluate effective persuasion by political figures, social activists and other famous Americans. Students gain an understanding of the power of language from watching Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, learn to identify the strengths and weaknesses in opposing arguments by examining congressional and public debates over the war in Afghanistan, and appreciate the power of radical street theater by studying PETA animal rights demonstrations and WTO protests about global environmental and economic issues.

Every two years, Olympic broadcasting reaches roughly 20 percent of the world’s population. Olympic television production represents the cutting edge of industry practice and innovation, with the past few productions showcasing an unprecedented range of exciting nonlinear technologies. In “Olympic Programming and Production” (RTVF 184), students have investigated “behind-the-scenes” programming and producing at the 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Athens, Torino and Beijing, respectively.

In “Public Relations Campaigns” (PR 107), the class operates as a public relations agency on a pro bono basis for a nonprofit client. Students meet with the client for background research, create a start-to-finish strategic proposal, make a formal presentation to the client, and, with the client’s approval, spend the semester executing the plan, which may include producing materials such as brochures, media releases and special events.
