The First Year

THE FIRST YEAR

an integrated community — a personalized experience

2

The first year

of college should be an extraordinary experience, a time when you explore new ideas, meet new friends and begin to find the path that’s right for you. Because no two students are alike, and because we want to ensure that every new Hofstra student has a positive experience, we have developed unique first-year programs designed to ease students into the life of the University. The first year at Hofstra University is full of possibilities.

We are confident that one of these options will be right for you.

First-Year Seminars and Clusters,* part of the First-Year Connections program, are integrated academic and extracurricular offerings that draw together students with similar interests. The seminars feature small, discussion-based classes; clusters are sets of interrelated courses that are designed to complement each other. The idea is that students who take seminars or clusters make friends more quickly, form study groups and generally have an easier time adjusting to college. Credits earned in Connections courses count toward your degree – no matter what Hofstra school you eventually enroll in or what major you declare.

5

Block Courses* offered by New College for Interdisciplinary Studies give students the option to immerse themselves in a subject by taking one course at a time, for a total of four courses, in a row, per semester. Each course is small by design, lasts 3-1/2 weeks, and is worth four credits. Block courses are academically rigorous, include weekly field trips, and fulfill degree requirements for all schools within the University.

Honors College allows high-achieving students the opportunity to discover their full academic potential. In the Honors College first-year curriculum, called Culture & Expression, students explore the connections between disciplines and work closely with some of the University’s most distinguished faculty.

School for University Studies focuses on serving students

who have demonstrated their potential in non-traditional ways through personalized instruction and individual advisement - the full resources of Hofstra University.

Living/Learning Communities are unique residential options that are open to all first-year students. Students who choose this residential experience live with other first-year students who share their passion for American politics, political and social issues, health sciences, leadership, math/science/engineering, healthy living, or the arts.

The Division of Student Affairs offers a wide range of services designed to familiarize first-year students with the University and help them make the most of their college experience.

Hofstra’s Electronic Edge Hofstra is among the most technologically advanced campuses in the country, where students use state-of-the-art facilities and benefit from numerous free computing services. *All first-year students may take seminars, clusters, or block courses in the fall or spring semester, or both. Students in Honors College and School for University Studies may participate in first-year programs, but you should speak with your academic advisor to manage your schedule appropriately.

First-Year Seminars and Clusters

“I met and made strong connections with my entire class, not just a few people. The small classes and individual attention enabled me to better concentrate on my work.”

— Krista Darrell, Class of 2009

At Hofstra, we want our first-year students to feel at home, both academically and socially. The seminars and clusters offered by the First-Year Connections program address both parts of this goal.

We offer more than 40 first-year seminars for fall 2009.

These are small classes, reserved for first-year students, in which students work closely with a professor on a topic in that professor’s particular area of research and expertise. We have designed our seminar topics to fit every interest, from graphic design to global warming, baseball in America to Asian politics.

In addition to seminar courses like these, we offer clusters – again, reserved for first-year students – composed of introductory-level courses and designed to be taken together.

For example, a student may study slavery in America in a history course, while reading Huckleberry Finn in the linked English class. In another cluster, students may take a business course in information technology, while studying ethics in a linked philosophy course. We have designed these clusters of courses with a wide variety of majors in mind.

a dynamic academic and extracurricular program

Whether you enroll in a cluster or seminar – or, in some cases, both – you will satisfy graduation requirements and, at the same time, take the introductory courses in your eventual area of study. The following pages describe some of the seminars and clusters that are available for the fall 2009 semester. Take a look at some of the courses you can experience in your first year at Hofstra.

Hofstra University

Honors College A community of highly motivated students and faculty.

A conversation about ideas and how they figure in the world.

A commitment to reaching new levels of achievement.

A challenge to extend your horizons ... and find your edge!

Honors College is designed for highly motivated, high-achieving students who want to make the most of their college years.

The best of two worlds – a nurturing community within a major research university You will be part of a close-knit community of students and faculty not unlike what you’d find at a small liberal arts college. At the same time, however, you will have an extraordinary range of opportunities at a research university with more than 145 majors offered through Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Communication, the Frank G. Zarb School of Business, and the School of Education, Health and Human Services.

“Culture & Expression has been great both because of what we read, and the way it brings all of us together. Honors housing reinforces that sense of community.”

– Natalie Hoeting Class of 2012

10

An extraordinary first-year experience Our first-year curriculum, our extracurricular activities and our administrative support are all designed to help you make a smooth transition from high school to college life. All first-year Honors College students participate in our four-course, two-semester cluster called Culture & Expression. Each Honors College entering class comes together through shared readings and conversations in Culture & Expression. We also introduce you to one another and campus life via on-campus events, trips to New York City for theater, museums and other cultural opportunities, and outdoor activities in the surrounding area. Many Honors College students participate in ongoing social service opportunities on campus and in the broader community.

Culture & Expression Culture & Expression consists of team-taught courses designed by a hand-picked team of Hofstra’s distinguished full-time faculty. Each semester, this group selects a unique list of readings and other objects of study in the humanities and social sciences. Via lectures and small group discussions, students experience the breadth of university learning and discover how disciplines approach cultural artifacts differently and thus produce different kinds of knowledge. This experience equips students to negotiate the challenges of whatever field of study they choose.

Where does it fit?

Culture & Expression is Honors College’s first-year cluster. It fits into every Hofstra degree program.

Specifically, Culture & Expression partially satisfies the University-wide distribution requirements in the humanities and social sciences.

Honors Housing Option Many Honors College students choose to live in honors housing (Liberty/Republic Halls), where they enjoy an even greater sense of community and an exceptional level of support from faculty mentors, our professional staff, specially selected student leaders, and one another.

School for University Studies a motivating program Hofstra’s School for University Studies – which has been helping students succeed for more than three decades – offers students the opportunity to start their college experience with a year of innovative curriculum and academic support within the larger Hofstra community.

Students in the School for University Studies begin their Hofstra education in the intimate setting of the Freshman Program, while having all the resources of the University at their disposal. The curriculum of the Freshman Program begins with a course load that includes one interdisciplinary core course, a seminar, a writing course and a departmental course. Past core and seminar courses have included: Core Power and Society Self-Making/Self-Knowing Journeys Through a Lifespan Narrative, Identity and Community

Seminar Culture, Mind and Education American Politics Introduction to Anthropology Juvenile Justice System

Students in the Freshman Program also have the opportunity to take courses in their academic majors. As with all first-year programs, all courses taken in the Freshman Program count toward the student’s degree.

Students enrolled in math classes receive the added benefit of carefully designed tutorials that afford them the opportunity to succeed in fulfilling the University’s math requirements.

“We spent five hours at ABC Studios and met with the people who make the nightly news and special broadcasts possible. Seeing all that goes into making a broadcast happen is truly an eye opener.”

– Bill McIntyre Assistant Director of Admissions and Administration School for University Studies

12

for students committed to success Also included in the curriculum are excursions that supplement the themes of Freshman Program courses.

For example, students enrolled in the course “Brooklyn and Beyond” attended a production of the Brooklyn Academy of Music along with course faculty and students from the Department of Drama and Dance. School for University Studies students also visited the Guggenheim and Brooklyn Museums as part of their course on “Women Writers and Artists in the 20th Century.”

Following a longstanding Hofstra tradition, the School for University Studies has developed a peer teacher program. Through this program, former Freshman Program students return to the classroom and share their experiences, serving as role models and providing academic support to current students.

School for University Studies students receive one-on-one advisement and registration support throughout their time in the Freshman Program. The School for University Studies also has an on-site director of counseling.

School for University Studies students participate in all aspects of University life, including on-campus housing, athletics, intramural sports and student organizations.

“The School for University Studies was a great program that helped me make an easy transition from high school to college.

The professors are dedicated to helping students learn and grow to their full potential. The classes were engaging, relaxed, and anything but ordinary.”

– Rachel Lipkin Class of 2012

Living/Learning Communities Where EACH facet of your college EXPERIENCE ENRICHES the others.

Borrowing from the thematic learning and close-knit classroom settings that are hallmarks of the First-Year Connections program, Hofstra has created special first-year residence opportunities.

Seven thematic “living/learning communities� are associated with several first-year clusters and seminars, giving students the opportunity to live with many of the same students they are in class with, as well as students who share the same passion for American politics, political and social issues, health sciences, leadership, math/science/engineering, healthy living, or the arts. Through these energetic living/learning communities, Hofstra students are exposed to environments that are intellectually stimulating, supportive, and conducive to building lasting friendships and a memorable first year.

Students who choose a living/learning community reside together in the Netherlands Complex in a house with 55 other first-year students. These students enjoy class-based activities as well as events within their living/learning community. This housing option is open to all first-year students, regardless of the first-year program they choose.

Commuting students who register for the associated First-Year Connections clusters and seminars may also participate in the activities affiliated with these living/learning communities.

AMERICAN POLITICS HOUSE is designed for students who are particularly interested in how political leadership is compatible with democratic governance. Topics for discussion include personal character and public service, election and representation in American politics, and expectations for modern presidential leadership.

14

ARTS HOUSE is for students who are interested in studying drama, dance, music, graphic design or fine arts, or just have a passion for the arts.

Events in this community include trips to museums, art shows and dinners.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT HOUSE

HEALTH SCIENCES HOUSE

is home to students who share a passion for political and social issues on a local, regional and national level. Students in this house are involved in community service events and special leadership training, and receive mentoring from upper-class Hofstra students.

is home to students who have an interest in the medical arts.

Activities include trips to New York hospitals and related organizations, and discussions of ethical issues.

“Because of the First-Year Connections program, I was able to meet people who shared many of my interests, and the program helped me make good friends” – Clifford Chapin Class of 2010

LEADERSHIP HOUSE is a new house that offers students the opportunity to explore their abilities while encouraging active participation in the campus community. Students take an in-depth look at leadership development and learn about decision making, team building, ethics, goal setting, communication and collaboration.

MATH, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING HOUSE is home to students who have an interest in an array of science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines. As part of this community, students attend presentations on research opportunities, community service and volunteer activities.

WELLNESS HOUSE is an innovative new house that promotes and celebrates healthy living options. The Wellness House welcomes students of all majors who want to make a commitment to a healthy lifestyle and assists in developing the “wellness theme” through programs and campus involvement.

15

The Division of Student Affairs

is dedicated to helping new students acclimate to the Hofstra campus and adjust to college life.

Services range from helping familiarize first-year students with the resources offered by the University to offering time management and study skills sessions.

A student’s journey at Hofstra begins during the summer with the New Student Orientation program. This program introduces new students to everything from student resources to faculty and academic advisers, to the overall campus culture.

During Orientation, every student is assigned an assistant dean from University Advisement, who serves as the student’s non-major adviser throughout his or her time at Hofstra. Advisement deans work closely with new students in planning the first semester of classes. Deans also help clarify Hofstra’s degree requirements, assist with goal-setting and major exploration, and connect students with faculty members and upper-class students for advice on pursuing studies within specific majors.

Orientation continues with Welcome Week, complete with social and academic programs, an activities fair, and trips to New York City and within the local community.

In the fall, the First-Year FOCUS (Focusing on College and Understanding Social Issues) program brings noted speakers to campus to discuss key transitional issues for first-year students.

“At first I was indifferent about living in a living/learning community, but now I am happy that I do. I have created friendships and learned more about myself, my major, and politics today.”

— Haylee Ferington First-Year Student in the Civic Engagement House
