INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE Student Guide
It’s all within your reach. The job of your dreams, a career you love, and a life that is amazing, exciting and enriching on every level. First you need to find your edge. Your “edge” is who you are, and who you’re meant to be. The things you learn, and experiences you have. It’s what you do better than anyone else. At Hofstra University, we help you discover that edge, sharpen it, and use it to achieve your boldest ambitions.
Get inspired. Get involved. Get started.
Hofstra University offers unlimited opportunities! Since 1935, the University’s environment of intellectual and personal growth has been enhanced by its suburban location, only 40 kilometers from New York City. Hofstra regularly hosts leading intellectuals, artists, opinion makers, and political leaders for special on-campus events. Students play principal roles in shaping their own degree programs. Professors and advisers are available throughout the academic year to assist in course selection and planning. Hofstra’s faculty are highly trained professionals who will motivate and challenge you to do your very best. With an average class size of 22 students, there is plenty of opportunity to work closely with your professors. The University’s 37 residential facilities include several types of living spaces that accommodate 4,200 students from 49 U.S. states and territories and 71 countries. An accurate measure of the academic excellence of any university is the professional accreditations awarded to its individual programs and to the institution as a whole. One of Hofstra’s 21 academic accreditations is that of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Students are encouraged to participate in all campus activities. There are more than 170 student clubs and organizations from which to choose, and Hofstra’s recreational facilities, which include an indoor, Olympic-sized swimming pool and a recently renovated Fitness Center complete with weight room and indoor track, are among the finest in the country. Countless Hofstra graduates have gone on to become prominent authors, composers, scientists, educators, businesspeople, actors, and film directors. Now it’s your turn!

Graduate Programs Hofstra University offers approximately 150 graduate program options in the Frank G. Zarb School of Business; School of Education, Health and Human Services; School of Communication; and Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Characterized by its broad intellectual reach, scholarly and scientific depth, dedicated faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, a Hofstra graduate education provides you with the foundation you need to reach your highest personal and professional aspirations. Hofstra University School of Law trains students not only to think like lawyers, but also to act like lawyers. That means teaching students doctrine and analysis, as well as the skills used to practice law in the real world. Hofstra was one of the first schools in the country to embrace clinical education, and it has built an enviable reputation as a school that trains real trial lawyers. Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University is the first allopathic (M.D.) medical school in Nassau County – and the first on Long Island in more than 35 years. The initial class of students will begin their studies in summer 2011. For more information about graduate programs, visit hofstra.edu/graduate. 1

Hofstra students learn from the best. We have more than 500 full-time faculty members – 91 percent of whom hold the highest degree in their respective fields – in addition to hundreds of expert professionals imparting real-world knowledge as adjunct professors. They include Fulbright and Emmy Award® winners, recipients of Guggenheim Fellowships, scholars, researchers, scientists, and business leaders. Experienced. Respected. And they are dedicated, personally, to their students. To you. Our professors take pride in being highly accessible – during office hours and after hours – welcoming your questions and offering advice. To help you get the most out of every class. Another important way you’ll find your edge. Warren Frisina, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Religion and Dean, Hofstra University Honors College “It’s about the conversation. Honors College is an invitation to join a conversation that reaches back to the beginnings of human history and extends to the very specific questions, problems, hopes and dreams students bring to our classrooms and offices.”
Ahmet Karagozoglu, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Finance 2009 Teacher of the Year Frank G. Zarb School of Business “As the academic director of the Zarb School’s Martin B. Greenberg Trading Room, I am very happy that Hofstra students receive hands-on experience with world-class resources such as the Bloomberg Professional terminals. I am excited to teach in the trading room, and our students are extremely motivated to take courses in this unique learning facility. The skills they learn in the trading room make them even more marketable in the ever-changing world of finance.”
Robert Leonard, Ph.D.
Professor of Linguistics and Chair, Department of Comparative Literature and Languages 2009 Teacher of the Year Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences “A brilliant college president once told me, ‘Colleges and universities have qualities you can almost sum up in human personality terms.’ It’s true, I thought. Hofstra is forward-thinking and adaptable, intelligent, always wanting to do better and be better – exactly like so many of its students. And that is a great reason to teach here.”
Mary Anne Trasciatti, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Chair, Speech Communication, Rhetoric and Performance Studies 2009 Teacher of the Year School of Communication
“I love teaching at Hofstra because the students are smart and very spirited. They’re not afraid to take risks, intellectually or personally, and that means I can take risks too. I can be very creative in the way I teach, which is really liberating and a lot of fun.”
Bruce Torff, Ed.D.
Professor of Educational Psychology 2009 Teacher of the Year School of Education, Health and Human Services “For me, being a teacher is not about disseminating content knowledge. It’s about being someone special in students’ lives, helping them make decisions about the future. If you treat students with respect and run a class that’s fair and fun, you can make a course challenging.”
At Hofstra ... all classes are led by faculty, not teaching assistants.
What does an average class size of 22 mean to me? 4
It means your professor will actually know who you are. Focused on you. Working with you. Inspiring you. At most universities, this is how only graduate students learn. At Hofstra, it’s like this for everyone.
What does a liberal arts education mean for me?
At Hofstra, your liberal arts courses and major program requirements are completed simultaneously, to encourage you to synthesize the knowledge you gain from both. You will learn to think critically about the world around you and master the oral and written communication skills required for active, ethical participation in society. Hofstra graduates emerge as lifelong learners.

Your Questions … Answered! What makes Hofstra University unique? Outstanding faculty, including Fulbright and Emmy Award winners, recipients of Guggenheim Fellowships, scholars, researchers, scientists and business leaders. An ideal location, just one hour from New York City. A campus so beautiful, it’s a nationally recognized arboretum. Breakthrough academic programs. State-of-the-art facilities. Everything!
How difficult is it to get into Hofstra? Students admitted to Hofstra have an average SAT score of 1180 and grade point average of 3.4 out of 4.0. The mid-range of SAT scores is 1110-1250. These scores do not include the SAT essay. Remember, we consider many factors when admitting students.
What are the minimum requirements for admission to Hofstra? We consider all parts of your application. There are no minimum grades or scores, although our Admission Committee seeks students who have excelled academically, challenged themselves in course work, and pursued opportunities outside the classroom. A strong essay will complement your application well.
Is the TOEFL required for admission? The TOEFL is required for any student who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and whose first language is not English. Unless otherwise noted, we require the TOEFL if your country of citizenship’s national language is not English. A score on the SAT or ACT that demonstrates proficiency in English may be substituted for the TOEFL, at the discretion of the Admission Committee.
What score is Hofstra looking for on the TOEFL? Our Admission Committee looks for students who have achieved an Internet-based TOEFL (IBT) score of 80 or higher, a paper-based TOEFL score of 550 or higher, or a computerized TOEFL score of 213 or higher. Others with strong academic credentials are certainly encouraged to apply. For more information, please visit www.ets.org/toefl.
Can I send my supporting documents (transcript, TOEFL score, essay) to Hofstra electronically? Yes. E-mailing or faxing documents can be faster and more reliable than sending them by mail. Documents can be faxed to 516-463-5100 (please write “Attention International Admissions” on faxes) or e-mailed to InternationalAdmission@Hofstra.edu. Please note that to be considered official documents, transcripts or test scores should be sent by a counselor, adviser, administrator or other staff member at your school. We cannot accept test scores copied from an Internet score report.
What financial aid might international students receive? International students are eligible for academic merit-based scholarships. Please note that an SAT or ACT score must be received in order to be considered for an academic scholarship.
How do I apply for a scholarship? All students are automatically considered for academic merit scholarships, which are based primarily on your secondary school record and SAT or ACT results. The TOEFL is not a factor in scholarship decisions.
Does Hofstra offer conditional admission for students with lower TOEFL scores? At this time, Hofstra does not offer conditional admission. For students who may need some help with their English language skills, you may be asked to participate in our English Language Program (ELP), which takes place concurrently with regular University course work. Students take an English language placement exam when they arrive at orientation, prior to registering for courses. Students are then advised to take appropriate course work.
Does Hofstra award credit for A-Levels, Abitur, the IB Diploma, AP credits, etc.? Yes. Advanced standing and collegiate-level credits may be awarded based on students’ performance on these exams and certain other upper-secondary school certificates. Students should send score reports to the Office of Admission for evaluation. An official evaluation of a student’s secondary record is often helpful in this process and can be provided by organizations such as World Educational Services (WES). 6
Is housing provided for international students? Yes! Hofstra has 37 residence halls, featuring many different living arrangements. Twelve-month housing is available for students who will stay in the United States during semester breaks. Living/Learning Communities, in which students live with other students who have similar majors or interests, are also available. Visit hofstra.edu/reslife for more information.
What can I do outside the classroom? Hofstra has a vibrant campus – with more than 500 cultural events, more than 170 student clubs and organizations, and a competitive NCAA Division I athletic program. There are also approximately 20 clubs on campus with specific international or multicultural themes. To learn about everything going on at Hofstra, visit hofstra.edu/studentaffairs.
What if I prefer small classes, where the professors actually know me by name? Then Hofstra is the perfect choice for you! Hofstra keeps class size small, averaging just 22 students, and a student-faculty ratio of 14-to-1 ensures that students receive the personal attention they need.
What if I ever need help, guidance or support at Hofstra? We have excellent first-year programs designed to help you adjust to both the academic and social life of the University. Every Hofstra first-year student has a dedicated University adviser and faculty adviser, in addition to access to tutors and many other support services. The Office of Orientation and Office of Student Leadership and Activities, as well as Hofstra’s Saltzman Community Services Center, are also available to students.
Where is Hofstra located, and what’s the weather like? Hofstra’s campus is located in Hempstead, New York, about 40 kilometers east of Manhattan, in a suburban neighborhood. On a clear day, you can see the New York City skyline from the top level of our library! The climate of Long Island is affected by four seasonal changes. The temperature varies from a high of 32 degrees Celsius during July and August to a low of minus 2 degrees Celsius in January and February.
So Hofstra is near New York City. What can I do there? What can’t you do there? New York is an amazing city. Sample thousands of restaurants. Visit museums, sports arenas, and art galleries. See a Broadway show. Visit Top of the Rock. You could go to New York City every day for four years and still not see it all. Hofstra shuttle buses provide transportation to and from local train stations day or night. From there, it’s just 45 minutes to New York City.
