Fordham, the Jesuit University of New York, offers a distinctive, values-centered educational experience rooted in the Jesuit tradition of intellectual rigor and personal attention. Since 1841, Fordham’s partner in this great enterprise has been New York. Students enjoy the unparalleled educational, cultural and recreational advantages of living and learning in one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic cities.
Engaged Students The University enrolls more than 15,600 students in its four undergraduate colleges and six graduate and professional schools. With its two distinctive residential campuses— green and gothic Rose Hill, on 85 acres adjacent to the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo; and cosmopolitan Lincoln Center, in the heart of Manhattan, across from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—Fordham offers students virtually unlimited possibilities for learning and personal growth. The Rose Hill campus houses Fordham College at Rose Hill, the College of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education, and Fordham College of Liberal Studies. The Lincoln Center campus, established in 1961, houses Fordham College at Lincoln Center, the Graduate School of Social Service, the Graduate School of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Education and the School of Law. A third campus, the Marymount Campus of Fordham University in Tarrytown, N.Y., is home to the Westchester divisions of the Graduate School of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Service and Fordham College of Liberal Studies. Fordham draws students from across the country and around the world who want to live and learn in the global capital of commerce and culture. The University offers one of the most extensive internship programs in the country. Students choose from more than 2,600 internship options in business, communications, education, government, health care, biomedical research, law, the arts and other fields. The Office of Career Services also offers workshops, career days, one-on-one career counseling and on-campus interviews with major corporations. Students compete for and earn prestigious fellowships and scholarships—including Fulbright, Truman, Mellon and other competitive awards. And each year, more than 1,300 students engage in community service, both locally and in distant corners of the world, through the University’s award-winning Global Outreach program.
Great Teaching Fordham has a proud history of approaching education in a distinctly Jesuit way, one that emphasizes cura personalis, a commitment to nurturing the whole person—mind, body and spirit—and challenging students to surpass their perceived limitations. This kind of education unites both heart and mind, and at Fordham it occurs within and beyond the classroom. Fordham’s world-class faculty is committed to teaching and research. In small classes (the average class size is 22 and the University boasts a 12:1 student-faculty ratio), these scholars and mentors challenge students to develop to their full potential—and they give each student the individual attention he or she needs to excel. Students choose from more than 65 majors and academic programs in the liberal and performing arts, sciences, and business. Every student also completes a rich Core Curriculum that spans literature, history, science, religion, philosophy, the social sciences and the arts, and is designed to nurture curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Special academic offerings include honors programs, study abroad, dual-degree programs with Fordham’s graduate schools, and pre-professional programs in law, medicine and This is Fordham

Fordham’s G.L.O.B.E. international business program combines liberal arts and business courses, and prepares students for multinational careers. Undergraduate students often collaborate with faculty on original research, and they also work with faculty and staff to prepare to compete for Rhodes, Fulbright and other prestigious fellowships and scholarships.
New York Is Our Campus, Fordham Is Our School New York City provides unparalleled internship and career advantages, but it also offers students a never-ending list of things to see and do—from Broadway theater, museums, and concerts to major league sports or a bike ride through Central Park. Fordham’s two residential campuses—Rose Hill and Lincoln Center—are easily accessible by public and private transportation. The University’s Ram Van service also makes it easy for students to enjoy the social and academic life of the two campuses. Strong orientation programs, special freshman seminars and active faculty advising ensure a smooth transition to college life. Integrated learning communities in the residence halls on the Rose Hill campus give students the chance to collaborate with other students, staff and faculty to design social, service and educational activities and events throughout the year. Students majoring in pre-health professions are mentored by resident upperclassmen in the new Science Integrated Learning Community. The Lincoln Center campus features McMahon Hall, a 20-story complex that provides apartment-style living and great views of Manhattan. Fordham’s state-of-the-art facilities also include one of the most technologically advanced libraries in the country. More than 130 student organizations offer a remarkable range of programming that capitalizes on the cultural resources of New York City. An extensive athletics program includes 22 varsity sports and a range of club and intramural sports. Each year, the Community Walsh Family Library Service Program gives hundreds of students an opportunity to work together on volunteer projects at dozens of sites in New York City, including soup kitchens, nursing homes, transitional shelters, hospitals and community parks.
A Fordham Degree While not every student-athlete will win a championship, those who choose Fordham and take advantage of the educational opportunities afforded him or her will get something more important. A Fordham degree. Founded in 1841 as the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the northeast, Fordham is an independent university in the Jesuit tradition. It grants baccalaureate degrees in the liberal arts and sciences and business administration to both traditional and non-traditional students. Fordham’s un- dergraduate student body both reflects the diversity of the metropolitan area in which the University is located and includes students from other regions who are attracted to New York’s cosmopolitan culture. Whether educated at the Rose Hill, Lincoln Center or Tarrytown campus, Fordham students benefit from close contact with a distinguished faculty who teach at the undergraduate, graduate and professional Edwards’ Parade levels. The Jesuit tradition informs every aspect of a Fordham education. This tradition is characterized by excellence in teaching and by the care and development of each individual student. Fordham’s undergraduate core curriculum is designed to develop the capacity for clear and critical thinking and correct and forceful expression. It seeks to impart a knowledge of scientific principles and skills, an awareness of historical perspective, an understanding of the contemporary world with its cultural diversity, and an intelligent appreciation of religious, philosophical and moral values. Thus, instruction goes beyond the transmission and acquisition of basic knowledge to the exploration of questions of values and ethics. Fordham insists that its students anchor their knowledge and appreciation of the culture, language, history, philosophy and literature of the Western tradition as well as of other peoples by constantly considering the impact of their behavior and decisions on society as a whole. In the future, as in the past, Fordham will continue to affirm the compatibility of a Catholic, Jesuit identity and respect for diverse religious and philosophical convictions within its educational community. It is in this spirit that Fordham encourages its students to develop an individual commitment to others and explore those themes that are central to the Jesuit tradition: the dignity of the human person, the advancement of the common good and the option for the poor. Of its students, Fordham expects intellectual ability, the desire to engage actively in their own education, a commitment to growth in personal and social values and the willingness to judge and be judged on clear and high standards. Through students’ participation in the intellectual community, Fordham teaches them not only how to use the resources of this world, but also how to make their own contribution.
The Jesuit Tradition Fordham had its beginnings more than 160 years ago, when Archbishop John Hughes founded St. John the Baptist College at Rose Hill, and it has benefited over the years from the services of hundreds of members of the Society of Jesus, a religious order of men, many of whom have devoted their lives to higher education. Fordham has found that its Catholic and Jesuit origins and traditions continue to provide valuable marks of distinctiveness and a source of strength. As a consequence, these traditions, religious ideas, perspectives and values hold an important place in the University. Students of all faiths and of no faith are given encouragement and opportunity to join in seminars and discussions of religious issues and to participate in religious observances. University staff members are ready to assist students in the quest for their own religious commitment. These opportunities are not imposed on anyone; their use depends on the interest, good will and initiative of the students. A loving and respectful openness to people of all faiths is an integral part of Fordham’s character. The very nature of religious belief requires free, uncoerced consent, just as the nature of a university requires a respect for evidence, investigation, reason, and enlightened assent. The approach begins with a deep respect for you as an individual and your potential, a principle the Jesuits callcura personalis. Fordham athletes take pride in Because they respect you, our faculty will challenge you to strive for ever greater personal excellence in all aspects of life - intel- giving back to community, as seen lectual, emotional, moral and physical. That principle, called magis, accounts for the rigor of intellectual exchange and the varied challenges you will experience in New York City and the world beyond. at the Fordham women’s soccer At Fordham, students seek to tap the full potential of mind and heart while leading a life beyond self.

From the Seven Blocks of Granite to the Digger Phelps “Rams.” From Frankie Frisch to major league pitcher Pete Harnisch. From Mike Marchiano, a 1997 Baseball All-American, and Bobby Kingsbury, the first Atlantic 10 baseball player to earn Player of the Year honors twice, to Jen Mineau, a 2010 & 2011 Softball All-American, and Brienne Ryan, a U.S. Olympic qualifier in swimming, Fordham University Athletics has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success on the local and national playing fields. Fordham currently sponsors 22 men’s and women’s varsity sports teams. On the men’s side the Rams field teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor and outdoor track, soccer, swimming and diving, squash, tennis and water polo, while the women compete in basketball, cross country, indoor and outdoor track, soccer, rowing, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, and volleyball. Last year marked the 17th season of competition in the Atlantic 10 Conference for the Rams, who were a member of the Patriot League for the previous five years (the Rams are still affiliated with the Patriot League for football). In 17 years as a member of the Atlantic 10, Fordham has come a long way in all sports with softball winning the 2011 and 2013 championships and making three NCAA championship appearances in the last four years (2010, 2011, & 2013), joining the men’s soccer, baseball, and women’s swimming & diving teams as conference champions. Eight coaches have won Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year Awards, including Ness Selmani and Steve Potsklan, who have both been honored twice as Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, while Bridget Orchard has captured the honor four times. Additionally, the football squad won Patriot League titles in 2002 and 2007, the women’s lightweight four placed third at the IRA National Rowing Championships in 2008, Fordham’s second medal at the prestigious championship, the women’s freshmen four won the gold medal at the 2012 Dad Vail Regatta, the golf team won the 2009 ECAC Championship, and the water polo team captured a share of the 2009 CWPA Northern Division regular season title with head coach Bill Harris earning Coach of the Year honors.

Success for the Fordham student-athlete is not only found on the fields and courts. It’s also seen in the classroom. Last year, 122 student-athletes were named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honors Roll in the fall and 116 in the spring for having a 3.5 GPA or better for the semester and 39 more were named to the Patriot League Honor Roll for football, the most Rams ever honored by the league and the most for any school in the conference. On the national level, Jen Mineau was named Capital One Academic All-America® for softball for the second straight year, while football’s Brendan Melanophy was named Academic All-District. This success is nothing new to Fordham as the Rams have had 26 student-athletes earn Academic All- America® honors since 1968. Locally, the Rams had seven student-athletes named to their respective Atlantic 10 All-Academic teams along with two water polo student athletes named to the AWPCA All-Academic Team and Collegiate Water Polo All-Academic Team. Additionally, the men’s and women’s swimming and div- ing programs were named CSCAA-Academic All-America Teams, while the men’s and women’s cross country and track & field teams were honored as USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams and the men’s and women’s soccer teams both received the NSCAA Team Academic Award.

Success is like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible. Most important, you must pay the price to stay there. -- Vince Lombardi, Fordham Class of 1937
In 1996, Fordham University received a very important and excit- ing addition to its athletic facilities. The addition is in the form of a new 3,200 square foot Varsity Athletic Training Facility, located under the stands of Jack Coffey Field. This facility will benefits each varsity Fordham Strength & Conditioning Philosophy athletic squad within the University. The facility offers a new state-of-the-art weight room, which is much larger than the current Danowski Varsity Weight Room housed - Train to Prevent Injury within the Vincent T. Lombardi Memorial Center. Also included in the new building is a classroom with seating for 30-35 people, which - Improve Athletic Performance will aid not only in meetings, but also with study halls, an office for a strength coach, and adequate space for free movement exercises to supplement the weight training. The facility was built due in large part to a tremendous $500,000 gift by Fordham alumnus Bill Walsh ’51. Mr. Walsh in turn challenged the Fordham University Gridiron Club to match his donation dollar- for-dollar. The $500,000 that Mr. Walsh donated is part of his recent $10.5 million gift to Fordham University which helped complete the new library on the Rose Hill campus, named in Walsh’s honor. “This will help the Fordham program, and I agree that a weight room is of vital importance,” Mr. Walsh said. “It will benefit all Ford- ham athletes and improve everyone’s performance.” This new facility marks another step in the continued rebuilding efforts of Fordham University, and the positive effect should be felt by all Fordham varsity sports. In summer 2009, the weight room was remodeled, featuring new flooring, a new Strength & Conditioning sound system, and three 42” flatscreeen television for video workouts. The weight room also added two new squat racks and platforms, five Vertimax jump trainers, and six Elitefts prowlers.
