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.
