STEM at Fordham
At Fordham, we believe in research and learning that matters to the world. Our STEM students study, investigate, and attempt to find solutions to some of the world’s most challenging issues—how air quality is impacted by climate change, how technology can help improve drug discovery methods, and how to best stop and recover from cyberattacks.

Research with Impact
At Fordham, research doesn’t just sit on a shelf. Take Project Fresh Air, a citizen science course that connects students and faculty with NYC students and teachers. Together, they set up air quality sensors in their communities to track and analyze data in an effort to make positive change.
