We are one Jesuit, Catholic university on two New York City campuses. The Rose Hill campus is situated on 85 handsome, leafy acres in the Bronx, next door to the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx Zoo, and the borough’s Little Italy neighborhood. The Lincoln Center campus is set on eight self-contained acres around the corner from Central Park, the Time Warner Center, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Our three undergraduate schools – Fordham College at Rose Hill, Fordham College at Lincoln Center and the Gabelli School of Business at Lincoln Center and Rose Hill – are rooted in Fordham’s core curriculum, steeped in Jesuit traditions, and stocked with opportunities for independent research, experiential learning, and civic engagement. Our graduates go on to be transformative figures in politics, education business, literature, game design, the performing arts, and so on.

So, to recap: New York City. Internships. Global experience. Civic engagement. Active pre-professional programs. Expansive research. This is who we are as a Jesuit university. This is what we’re about: opportunity, possibility, a brighter future for you and the world you’ll build.
