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.

As the spring semester has only a few weeks left, over forty juniors and seniors of the college presented the original research they had engaged in this year, sharing it with the faculty and their fellow students. Projects ranged in disciplines from dance, theology, and film to science, math and anthropology. Check out the event here.
Denzel Washington, FCLC ’77 spoke at his alma mater on October 14th. He was introduced by Joe Morton, the Denzel Washington Distinguished Visiting Chair in Theatre, and met Mayaa Boateng, FCLC ’13, the first holder of the Denzel Washington Scholarship. See the full story here.
FCLC senior Bernard Moore and two Rose Hill students, Matt Ecker and Steven Rice, received summer research grants from FCLC and FCRH to travel to Namibia in southern Africa and make a documentary on that country. Watch a small bit of what they discovered.
The annual Festival of Lessons and Carols marked the beginning of the Christmas season. The combined choruses of the University, the Bronx Arts Ensemble Orchestra, and the sophomore dancers in the Ailey/Fordham Dance Program performed.
The FCLC Mock Trial Team, after winning the regionals in Providence, Rhode Island in March, moved on to the first round of the National Tournament in Philadelphia. Along with Columbia, Brown, Georgetown, Drexel, and Harvard, FCLC will move on to the finals in Washington, D.C. in April. At the Philadelphia competition FCLC senior Will Bergesch was named an outstanding "lawyer," and freshman James Pedersen was named an outstanding "witness."

In July 2012, students in Fordham’s International Study Abroad Program were based in Rome at the Irish College for a class, Acting in Italian, co-taught by Professor Joseph Perricone of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and Matthew Maguire, Director of the Fordham Theatre Program. The group performed Dario Fo’s farce, “Non Tuttii i Ladri Vengono per Nuocere” (Not All Thieves Come to Harm You) in Orvieto and Rome to enthusiastic and appreciative Italian audiences.
