Adelphi University New York
World-class academics with a personal approach
February 2020
Dear Colleagues,
 
More and more students are considering Adelphi for their college journeys. We've already seen a record-breaking 14,100 first-year applications so far, and fall transfer applications are still coming in. I thought you would enjoy meeting some students who chose Adelphi—and learning more about why they did.  
 
One reason students choose Adelphi is strong outcomes. Ninety-five percent of our recent undergraduates have jobs or are in grad school within just six months of graduation. And they saw an average starting salary of $62,895—25 percent higher than the national average.
 
If Adelphi-accepted first-year or transfer students come to you for guidance on next steps, feel free to share this website . Here, and within their acceptance packet, they’ll find everything they need to know about settling in at Adelphi.

I’d love you to hear from your students what led them to call Adelphi their home. An extraordinary education is ahead of them!
 
Cheers,
Stephanie Espina

Senior nursing major Tyler Coyoc :

"I chose Adelphi because it was the perfect match for me! It had the academics as well as the campus life that I wanted, without being too big, where I felt like just a number. And I'm super involved in campus life. Here, you're a friend, you're a student, you're a leader, and that's what I enjoy about Adelphi so much."
First-year student-athlete Kendall Winn , majoring in sports management :

"Being a military family and living all around the world, home is always where the Air Force sends us. Choosing a college was the first time I had the opportunity to pick where I wanted to be, and I knew when I stepped on campus that it was the perfect place for me. The great academics, fantastic softball tradition, and outstanding coaches and teammates are going to make for an awesome four years."
Transfer student and current senior Daniel Hickey , majoring in information systems with a minor in video game design:

"I chose Adelphi for the small classes and their game development program.”
Junior international studies major and United Nations Youth Representative Saira Amar :

"I chose Adelphi for the Levermore Global Scholars program ! I come from a cosmopolitan area (Brooklyn), so the program immediately called out to me, and I knew it would enhance my major and passion for international relations."
