Adelphi University is a highly awarded, nationally ranked, powerfully connected research university with a uniquely personalized approach to learning.
We offer more than 60 exceptional liberal arts and sciences programs and professional training with particular strength in our Core Four areas of study—Arts and Humanities, STEM and Social Sciences, the Business and Education Professions, and Health and Wellness.
More than 5,100 undergraduates come from 43 states and 64 countries to choose from 60-plus programs of study. Adelphi's picturesque Garden City, New York, campus is just 23 miles from New York City and its cultural and internship opportunities.
Adelphi is dedicated to transforming students' lives through small classes, high-impact learning opportunities and dedicated, accessible faculty. Adelphi averages 21 students per class and a 10-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio.
We like to say Adelphi is big enough to offer a wide choice of opportunities, small enough to feel like home.
Besides its garden-like campus—a registered arboretum and once named best public garden on Long Island. The University has dynamic learning hubs in Manhattan, Suffolk County and the Hudson Valley.
In a recent survey of the class of 2019 graduates, 94 percent have jobs or are in graduate school within six months of graduation. And their annual starting salary? $75,000 — that's 38% higher than the national average.
