ofstra University is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational institution of higher learning located in Hempstead, Long Island, New York (USA) founded in 1935 on the basis of the estate of wealthy lumber magnate William S. Hofstra (1861-1932) and his (second) wife Kate Mason (1854-1933). The school began as a college of New York University and in 1937 became an independent school called Hofstra College, later changing its name to Hofstra University in 1963.^[1]

dditionally, Hofstra has a school of law, Hofstra University School of Law and an emerging School of Communication. Hofstra's Department of Journalism, Media Studies and Public Relations [JMSPR] is among the fastest-growing in the country, training and educating students to work in a rapidly changing media world. In 2001, the prestigious Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications granted its accreditation to the program - one of the youngest departments to be so accredited. The School of Communication boasts a highly regarded Department of Radio/Television/Film (RTF) which offers education in the fields of radio, film, and television theory, production, performance, and development. Other school include; School of Education and Allied Human Services, New College of Hofstra, School for University Studies, Honors College, Saturday College, and University College for Continuing Education. Hofstra University is also one of the 283 schools in the country with a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter. Another notable statistic is that Hofstra holds full accreditation in 19 academic areas.
