The university also maintains a study abroad center in London and field offices in Spain and South Africa. Student life includes 200+ student organizations, residential housing (including a 20-story residence hall at Lincoln Center for 850 students), dining services, and extensive career support through internship partnerships with major NYC employers.
Fordham admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin without discrimination. The university serves a diverse student body, with 18% first-generation college students. Admissions pathways include undergraduate, graduate, transfer, and international student programs. The university offers a net price calculator and financial aid resources for both undergraduate and graduate applicants.
Fordham's athletic teams, the Rams, compete in NCAA Division I (FCS football in Patriot League, other sports in Atlantic 10). The football program participated in the first televised college football game (1939) and the baseball team played the first modern collegiate baseball game (1859), holding the record for most NCAA Division I baseball victories. The university colors are maroon and white, and the mascot is the Ram.
