Here are the top six reasons students choose Adelphi:

Strong Career and Pre-Professional Training

Within six months after they graduate, 95 percent of Adelphi students have jobs or are in graduate school. They learn, grow and gain valuable skills thanks to smallP classes taught by passionate professors who engage students in active discussions and outside-the-classroom learning experiences. Many students take advantage of the University’s numerous study-abroad opportunities — everywhere from Costa Rica to Guatemala to Australia — and hands-on research opportunities. Students find internship and job opportunities through Adelphi’s powerful, engaged global alumni network that’s 115,000 strong.
