Fordham College at Lincoln Center

Welcome to Fordham College at Lincoln Center (FCLC), a close-knit intellectual and creative community of faculty and students located in the heart of Manhattan, and conducted in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition of education.

Fordham College at Lincoln Center is uniquely formed for the expansion and exchange of thought: students are invited not to simply enjoy the rich, cultural life of the city, but to become engaged in its community; not simply to attend class, but to experience a classroom in the world outside the college’s doors.

FCLC offers a full range of majors in the liberal arts and sciences with nationally recognized programs in the fine and performing arts. The college is the heir of a long history of Fordham in Manhattan.

The campus is an eight-acre self-contained complex at the corner of Columbus (Ninth) Avenue and West 60th Street.

Our neighbors include Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the AOL-Time Warner Building, the CBS Television Studios, and Central Park. The A, B, C, D, and 1 subway trains stop one block away.
