Admissions and Diversity
You're Welcome Here
You want to know if Fordham will challenge and support you. You may be wondering if you will find your community. We can help. Join us as we strive to become an even more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and just community.
Our leadership and staff have unequivocally committed to advancing equity-focused admission practices that aim to reach and serve the needs of historically excluded students in the U.S. (and across the globe). This renewed commitment comes from the root of Fordham’s mission to recognize the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. Our work is student-centered, and we strive to care for the whole person. That's what cura personalis—one of the main tenets of a Jesuit education—means. Read our full statement.
