Mission
Adelphi University has a rich history, an exciting present, and a limitless future. Founded in 1896, Adelphi University was Long Island's first private co-educational institution of higher learning. Since 2007, Adelphi has been cited as a "Best Buy" by the best-selling Fiske Guide to Colleges, one of only a handful of private universities to make the list. The New York Times wrote in fall 2006, "By practically every measure, the university is thriving." As Adelphi grows, our academic programs evolve to reflect the needs and interests of our more than 8,400 students from 37 states and close to 50 countries including an acclaimed Honors College; career-advancing joint degree programs; sought-after performing arts programs; and professional programs in social work, nursing, business, psychology, and education. Internationally recognized scholars and artists fill the ranks of Adelphi's more than 900 full- and part-time faculty members. Adelphi's main 75-acre campus in historic Garden City has six residence halls and is conveniently located 45 minutes from New York City, and just a few miles from some of Long Island's most beautiful beaches, parks, and cultural centers. Students may join Adelphi's more than 80 student organizations, including fraternities, sororities, and academic honor societies. Access to professional internships in all industries, whether in New York City or on Long Island, abounds. An expanded career center connects student with a range of professional opportunities. Specialized extracurricular and academic programs promote student involvement in civic and community service. Adelphi has outstanding NCAA Division I and II intercollegiate athletic teams, including its Division II National Championship women's lacrosse team as well as an array of intramural activities. In fall 2008, Adelphi opened a state-of-the-art performing arts center and center for recreation and sports.
