The rigor and range of an Honors education provides excellent preparation for graduate and professional study. Recent graduates have repeatedly proven that the hard work in Honors courses and on the thesis is rewarded with an excellent record of success in competing with students emerging from all other schools -- from large state universities to schools of the Ivy League.

Thoughts from Previous Students
"When I began my application to Adelphi I didn't know where it was or what it would be like. Ms. Shaffer in admissions told me over the telephone that if I got homesick I could visit the kangaroos in the Bronx Zoo. I found that I had a great friend before I ever arrived. The Honors College is great. Dean Garner hasn't missed a home basketball game yet. Get involved! There's a lot to do. "
Andrew Bridges, Class of 1998
Honors Collegeand School of Business.
While at Adelphi Andrew was captain of the basketball team and president of the Senior class. He now manages a professional basketball team in Australia.

Recent graduates of the Honors Program (until 1994) and Honors College (from 1994 forward) have been admitted to graduate study at such institutions as Columbia University (in English, psychology, engineering, dentistry, and social work); New York University (English, journalism, and French); Yale University (history of medicine, political science); Boston University (biology and economics); the University of Chicago (history and economics); Georgetown University (political science); Arizona State University (anthropology); Case Western Reserve (physics); Boston College (economics); the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (physics); University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana (mathematics); the University of Chicago (mathematical finance); and Brown University (economics). Many of these students were offered full tuition and considerable stipends, enabling them to pursue a Ph.D. essentially at no cost in the finest graduate departments in the country.
Recent Honors College graduates have been accepted for Law School at: Boston University, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, Fordham University, Tulane University, Hofstra University, Emory University, and elsewhere; for Medical School at: Columbia University, New York University, Mt. Sinai, University of Rochester, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and various campuses in the SUNY system including Brooklyn and Stony Brook; and Tufts University both for dentistry and veterinary medicine.
In the field of education, Adelphi has taken the lead. Students majoring in education undertake a five-year program leading them directly to the master's degree. In addition to time saved, the program contains a great financial advantage - for these students, a significant portion of the academic tuition scholarship is carried over to the graduate year.
In addition, through connections made during Honors internships or with the assistance of their major departments and Adelphi's Center for Career Development, Honors students have pursued careers across the range of politics, business, art, theater, education, health sciences, science, and technology. Recent graduates have gone on to work in a variety of New York's great institutions, including the United Nations and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
