EnglishHow to Apply to or Visit Hofstra University
Updated
Hofstra University gives prospective students three direct paths: apply, visit, or request information. Applications are split into undergraduate and graduate admission, and the site notes that you can apply for free this October. Visiting is handled through a fall visit registration page. If you are not ready for either step, the Request Info form is the lowest-commitment option.
Apply to Hofstra
The application process depends on which degree level you are pursuing.
Undergraduate Admission
Use the Undergraduate Admission entry point if you are applying for a bachelor's degree. Hofstra lists 175 undergraduate programs, so you can explore academic options before or alongside applying.
Graduate Admission
Use the Graduate Admission entry point if you are applying for a master's, doctoral, or other graduate-level program. Hofstra lists 200 graduate programs across 13 schools.
Free Application in October
The homepage states "Apply for Free This October." If you are applying during that window, the application fee is waived. Outside October, check the admission page for current fee details, since the site excerpt does not state fees for other months.
Visit Hofstra
Campus visits are arranged through the Visit Hofstra page, with a specific call to "Visit Hofstra This Fall" and a "Learn More and Register" link. Registration is required to attend a visit, so plan ahead rather than arriving without a booking.
A visit is worth prioritizing if you want to judge fit on factors the website describes but cannot fully convey: small classes, faculty accessibility, and proximity to New York City. Hofstra reports a 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio and describes its location as combining a home-like campus with NYC's cultural and professional opportunities.
Request Information
If you are early in your search, use the Request Info form. It appears in the site's Quick Links alongside Visit and Apply, so it functions as the standard first contact point for prospective students who want details before committing to an application or a campus trip.

What to Check Before You Commit
- Deadlines and requirements: The homepage does not list application deadlines, test policies, or required documents. Confirm these on the specific admission page for your level.
- Visit availability: Fall visits require registration, and slots may be limited. Register as early as you can.
- Program fit: With 175 undergraduate and 200 graduate programs, narrow your interest before applying so you can target the right admission office.
The fastest path is to decide whether you are applying or exploring. If applying, go straight to the admission page for your degree level. If exploring, register for a visit or submit the Request Info form first.
