Class Size

Giving you the opportunity to express your ideas and to hear the opinions of others is a hallmark of the Fordham experience. For this reason, our classes are small in size, providing the opportunity for active group discussion and personal attention.

Class Schedule

We have designed our schedule and the format of our courses with the busy adult student in mind. Traditional fifteen-week courses meet once a week, at night, for three hours per session. There are also two types of intensive courses: “mid-range intensives” that meet for five hours every other Saturday or Sunday throughout the semester, and “full-on intensives” that meet for eight and a half hours per session over two weekends. You can also study from home by taking advantage of the College’s online courses.
