Fordham University
At Fordham University in New York City, we know how to make the greatest city in the world feel like home. Here, you’ll get the best of both worlds—the pulse of city life and a close-knit community on campuses in the heart of Manhattan and the Bronx. NYC is the perfect college town for gaining hands-on experience for your field and your future. Through the Fordham Internship Promise, you’ll have the opportunity to land at least one internship, including research and other experiential learning by the time you graduate. And that experience—combined with small class sizes and 70+ majors, minors, and pre-professional programs—allows you to create the future you want for yourself. Our students are doers and dreamers who go on to become leaders across every field, from Wall Street to Broadway, in media, STEM, and beyond. In fact, 94% of the Class of 2024 was employed or continuing their education within six months of graduating.
