Adelphi University

86-01 23rd Avenue, Flushing, NY

Adelphi University, located in Garden City, New York, was founded in 1863 and was originally a private preparatory school. By 1896 the academy had added a college component which by 1912 had become a separate women's institution and became known as Adelphi College, severing its ties to Adelphi Academy by 1925 after having moved from its original Brooklyn home to Garden City.The school began to expand its offerings at this time, increasing the number of programs available to students, and by 1946 the school had one more become a coeducational institution. The school was given university status by the New York State Board of Regents in 1963 and changed its name accordingly. Since that time the school has seen a large expansion of its programs, both undergraduate and graduate, and has gone through a large advertising campaign that successfully increased enrollment. The school has been recently noted for its low cost, high quality private school educational offerings.

Academics

Adelphi University offers a variety of majors, allowing students the choice that best reflects their personal goals and plans and provides them assistance in realizing their future. The bachelor's degree program typically takes four years to complete and will have students studying lower and upper division courses related to their major, a slew of required general education courses, and a choice of elective courses aimed at expanding the area of study for students. Students may also choose to tack on a minor degree to their studies, which allows for an education in a secondary field, requiring additional study through a set number of courses. Graduate programs each have their own admission requirements and limited space. Students wishing to enroll in a graduate program will have to have earned a lower level degree, have high graduate level standardized test scores, and a strong prior academic record.

Financial aid is available in the form of loans, grants, work study programs and scholarships. Students requiring financial assistance are required to and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is used by the school to determine the student's financial needs and aid program eligibility to construct a financial aid package.
