History

Adelphi College

Adelphi University began with the Adelphi Academy, founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1863. The academy was a preparatory school located at 412 Adelphi Street, in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, but later moved to the corner of Lafayette Avenue and Clifton Place, in Clinton Hill. It was formally chartered in 1869 by the Board of Trustees of the City of Brooklyn for establishing "a first class institution for the broadest and most thorough training, and to make its advantages as accessible as possible to the largest numbers of our population." One of the teachers at the Adelphi Academy was Harlan Fiske Stone, who later served as the Chief Justice of the United States.

In 1893, Dr. Charles Herbert Levermore was appointed the head of Adelphi Academy. Seeking to establish a liberal arts college for the City of Brooklyn, Levermore received a charter from the Board of Regents of the State of New York, officially establishing Adelphi College on June 24, 1896. The college received its charter through the efforts of Timothy Woodruff, former Lieutenant Governor of New York and future first president of the Board of Trustees. Adelphi was one of the first coeducational institutions to receive a charter from the State of New York. At the time of its foundation, the college numbered only 57 students and 16 instructors. The Adelphi Academy continued to exist as a separate, but nonetheless connected entity to the college. The new college was located in a building behind the Adelphi Academy, on the corner of St. James's Place and Clifton Place, in Brooklyn.

Question: adelphi university?

Is good or not ?

Best Answer

Is it good? Good in comparison to Harvard? No. Good in comparison to Molloy? Yup. It's fine. It's not as strong as some others in that area. I consider it a tier 3 or 4 school. Somewhat competitive to get into, but not wicked hard. Solid academics, but no Harvard. Better than Molloy. Not as good as Fordham or SUNY Stony Brook, perhaps not as strong as Hofstra. More or less on par with Pace and LIU. So is it good? I'm not jumping up and down about it, but it's fine. It's certainly not bad. I'm not going to go on campus and seek out its students re: recruiting for my open positions, but if an Adelphi resume crossed my desk, I'd consider that applicant.

Best Answer

At that rate, it will take you 5 years to graduate. At the cost of 23,000/year flat rate for students enrolled in 12 to 17 hours, it will cost you a total of 115000 before scholarships and financial aid.
