Farmingdale & Adelphi Partner On Admission To 4 Graduate Programs

NASSAU COUNTY, NY — Farmingdale State College and Adelphi University have launched a partnership meant to expand student success, the two announced in a joint news release.

Farmingdale students can now continue their graduate studies at Adelphi in four master's programs: business analytics; computer science; general psychology with a human resource management concentration; and sports management; all while offering both in-person and online options.

"As Long Island’s oldest private university, we are pleased to offer this unique opportunity to Farmingdale State students," said Steve Everett, Adelphi’s provost and executive vice president. "Farmingdale State students will be welcomed into our diverse and close-knit community, where they will benefit from their experiences with our outstanding faculty and Adelphi’s personalized support services. We have launched this partnership with four highly ranked graduate programs in high-demand career fields. We hope to expand this program with Farmingdale State College to offer additional master’s degrees in the future."

The partnership guarantees admission to the four graduate programs upon completion of certain pre-requisite classes and maintenance of minimum grade point averages. The program also allows several of the master’s requirements to be satisfied with specific undergraduate courses, saving students time and tuition while pursuing a graduate degree.

"Farmingdale State College values the role that these partnerships play in providing students with designated pathways to continue their education at the graduate level," said Farmingdale State College Provost Laura Joseph. "Through the seamless alignment of specialized programs, students are provided with advance standing opportunities that decrease the time needed for degree attainment."

Adelphi enrolls more than 2,500 graduate students in 62 master’s programs and advanced certificates along with seven doctoral degrees. Farmingdale State, with nearly 10,000 students, has 44 bachelor’s programs in addition to certificates and a master’s program in technology management.

Farmingdale students who qualify for Adelphi's master programs will automatically be considered for a variety of graduate scholarship opportunities.
