We’ll help you along the way Support from the beginning Starting college is exciting, but it can also be a time of apprehension about the unknown. At Hofstra, we have all the support services you’ll need to successfully acclimate to campus and ease your first-year jitters. We want to help you make a smooth transition to Hofstra and our support services and programs are available to you from the day you arrive to campus to the day you graduate, and beyond. Rest assured knowing that you’ll never get lost in the mix. Hofstra University has all the program options and resources of a large university, yet is still small enough to provide the kind of personal attention and guidance you need to succeed. At Hofstra, you’re not just a name on a class roster or an application.
“The best part of The Career Center is Pride-CMS. The system allows a student to log in and see which employers are currently hiring. It is a simple, convenient and wonderful system that can provide help to all Hofstra students.” – John Santucci ’11
We know what it takes to succeed. By choosing Hofstra, you gain access to the myriad services and resources that are designed to support your personal, academic, social and professional growth. And this high-quality service starts the moment you say “yes” to Hofstra.
Advisement deans and faculty advisors: A winning combination Before you even walk into your first class, your faculty scholars are getting to know you. On their class rosters are pictures of you, pictures of your peers, pictures of your future friends who will inspire, challenge and support you. So when you arrive at your first class on your first day, you’ve already begun to receive personal attention. At Hofstra, personal attention is something you should come to expect. Hofstra’s Center for University Advisement (CUA) offers assistance with academic program planning, degree progress, pre-med and pre-law exploration, interpretation of Hofstra’s academic policies, and campus resources. Each student is assigned to an advisement dean who serves as his/her general academic advisor from admission to graduation. And that’s not all. Hofstra utilizes a dual advisement approach – that means that once you declare a major, you are assigned a faculty advisor within your major department. You can rely on both your dean and faculty mentor to provide you with personal support, individual guidance, and a compassionate ear. This unique collaboration between faculty and advisement deans ensures you receive effective, accurate service ... because you deserve the best service we can offer.
Support when you need it most The Career Center at Hofstra University can help you explore majors and possible careers, draft that perfect resume and cover letter, attain your dream internship and job, and everything in between. It is our goal to support you during your transition to internships, summer jobs, and eventually graduate school planning and full-time employment. Services include one-on-one appointments, career-related workshops and webinars, countless networking opportunities, mock interviews, and access to thousands of job and internship postings. The University Tutorial Program (UTP), offered through the Center for University Advisement, is designed to provide academic support services to Hofstra’s undergraduate students. Individual and group tutoring services are available, and professional academic advisors are on-hand to provide additional guidance when necessary.
