Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the academic heart of Hofstra University and the oldest school at Hofstra. We believe that the liberal arts — the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences — are the foundation for all higher education. Our main objective is to help students gain an understanding of how people have attempted throughout history to render the breadth of human experience intelligible.

Working with our highly respected faculty and with one another in an atmosphere of freedom and tolerance, you will develop critical thinking skills and learn to access and analyze information and ideas in a technologically sophisticated world.

Hofstra University Honors College (HUHC) serves first-year students who perform at the highest academic levels in all undergraduate programs, through an innovative curriculum centered in the liberal arts and compatible with all majors. The curriculum is designed to provide a wide-ranging and multidisciplinary intellectual experience while fostering a sense of community and identity among the cohort of students who share the HUHC experience. High-achieving applicants are invited to participate. SAT scores for the middle 50 percent of the fall 2011 Honors College class range from 1270 to 1370.

HUHC also serves transfer students who perform at the highest academic levels in any undergraduate program or major. Transfer students who have earned a 3.5 GPA or higher are invited to join HUHC upon admission. Students who have earned honors credits at a previous institution may apply them toward completion of the Honors College Recognition designation.

For more information, visit hofstra.edu/honors.

With the guidance of our accomplished faculty, access to better technology than many professional broadcast facilities, and the entire world of New York City and international media internship opportunities within reach, you will graduate with a real edge in a highly competitive industry.
