School Notes:

  • The eleven graduate, undergraduate and professional schools at Fordham University reside on the two major campuses in New York City and two in Westchester county. Each of the schools are among the most highly rated in the country, providing academic rigor, professionalism, and the characteristic Jesuit tradition of "cura personalis," or individual attention and personal care.
  • Marymount College of Fordham University's core curriculum, along with its majors and electives, embraces and explores the themes set by Marymount for the education it offers: The preparation of women for roles in the world and workplace; awareness of the diversity and global nature of the 21st century experience; and the necessity of religion, ethics and spirituality as guides to a good life.
  • On October 6, 2005, the Fordham University Board of Trustees voted to phase out operations of Marymount College, concluding in June 2007. No new students will be admitted to the college. Further information about this decision can be found in the news release and on college website.
