winners, members of the National Academy of Sciences, as

well as Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Humanities

Mor mportant, our facut ar dvotd to tachng.Only faculty not graduate assistants teach our courses,

and we keep classes small so that interaction between

student and professor becomes an inherent part of the

classroom experience. The bonds you build here naturally

lead to future endeavors in which you might help a professor

with a research project or seek a professors guidance with

regard to graduate or professional school.

xpand our word

Students today need an education that prepares them for an

interconnected world. The rapid expansion of world trade, the

Internet and the global nature of news organizations continually

remind us that, in order to be successful, students need an

extensive awareness of other cultures and societies.

Your exposure to a deeper understanding of the world begins

at Hofstra, where you will interact with students from 47 U.S.

states and territories and 50 countries who are choosing from

about 140 undergraduate program options and 200 clubs and

organizations. The student from Vermont who comes to

Hofstra to study music and the student from Peru who is here

to study computer science may meet through their shared

interest in writing for the student-run weekly newspaper.

Next, you have New York City, which has always been one of themost culturally diverse cities in the world. Our students constantly

utilize the city as an interactive educational and professional resource.

With the United Nations, multinational corporations, and ethnic

neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Little Italy, a day in New York

City is like a trip around the world.

Hofstras study abroad

programs complement

experiences on campus

and in New York City.

With programs in Australia,China, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece,

Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and Spain,

and a program that tours all of Europe, our students have an

extraordinary array of opportunities to explore the world. All of our

study abroad programs allow you to earn Hofstra credits and are

taught by Hofstra faculty. Whether you are studying theater in

London, art history in Venice, or geography of Western Europe in Europe, you will find yourself exposed to

different cultures, political views and lifestyles.

The combination of experiences from New York City to studying abroad gives Hofstra students a

substantial advantage after college. They are well-prepared to become leaders in their professional lives, fullycognizant of the interconnected world in which we live.

Immersing myself in the culturesof each country was the best, mosteffective way to understand the

effects of what we studied, be itpolitics, economics, or geography

My trip with Hofstras Center for Civic Engagement to Togo and Ghana was truly transformational. Itbroadened my view of the world. The term lesser developed country is no longer simply a concept in a

textbook. I now know some of the struggles facing an LDC and can associate the term with more than just adefinition. When I hear the word Africa, I don't think of pictures in National Geographic; instead, I think ofthe friends I made while I was there and the experiences we shared.
