Application Timeline
Application Methods
👍 Great Fit If You Are:
Ethical thinkers
if you want your education to mean more than a degree, and care deeply about justice, service, and reflection, Fordham will speak to you.
Urban academics
if you want to walk out of class and into an internship at the UN, NBC, or a NYC nonprofit, this school delivers real-world access.
Students who want community in a big city
Fordham gives you a tight-knit circle within the sprawl of New York, helping the city feel less overwhelming.
Politically curious learners
if you’re into law, public service, journalism, or activism, Fordham's proximity to power centers is a huge asset.
Balanced explorers
if you want both humanities and career readiness, spiritual reflection and academic challenge, Fordham lets you pursue both.
🚨 Not Ideal For:
Party-school seekers
social life is friendly but not wild; Fordham is more about connection and conversation than keg stands.
Total STEM specialists
while growing, Fordham’s strengths are still rooted in social sciences, liberal arts, and business.
Campus-centric traditionalists
especially at Lincoln Center, the experience is more urban and integrated than grassy-quads-and-greek-life style.
Students who dislike structured values
Fordham’s Jesuit identity brings a sense of mission; if that feels restrictive, it may not resonate.
Those needing small-town peace
the city never sleeps, and even Rose Hill’s quiet comes with urban buzz in the distance.
