A Transformative Education 

Adelphi University is a modern metropolitan university with a uniquely personalized approach to learning.  We are dedicated to transforming students’ lives through world-class academics, a focus on student success, and a warm, inclusive community.

For a long time, Adelphi was one of New York’s best kept secrets, but no more.  We are well recognized as a powerfully connected research university with more than 140 exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs through eight schools and colleges.  

Mission 

Our University transforms the lives of all students by creating a distinctive environment of intellectual rigor, research, creativity and deep community engagement across four core areas of focus: arts and humanities, STEM and social sciences, the professions, and health and wellness.

Vision

We will become a nationally respected leader—a standard bearer—for redefining the practical and personal value of education for students, helping them define their success in the classroom, on campus, in careers and communities, and beyond.

Values

We are guided by six core values that exemplify the type of community we seek to create:

• Academic excellence
• Community and collaboration
• Creativity and innovation
• Global awareness and diversity
• Respect for the individual
• Truth and integrity
