With the addition in 1905 of a law school and a (now defunct) medical school, the name was changed to Fordham University in 1907 (despite the name of the original college, Fordham has never had any connection with St. John's University). The name Fordham ("ford by the hamlet") refers to the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx in which the Rose Hill campus is located. A ford is a place in a Watercourse (most commonly a stream or River) that is shallow enough to be crossed by wading on Horseback or in a wheeled A hamlet is (usually&mdashsee below a Rural community — that is a small settlement — which is too small to be considered a Village.

In 1908, Fordham University Press was established. The Fordham University Press is a Publishing house, a division of Fordham University, that publishes primarily in the Humanities and the Social sciences

In 1912, the university opened a College of Pharmacy, which offered a three-year program in pharmacy and did not require its students to obtain bachelor's degrees until the late 1930s. Pharmacy (from the Greek φάρμακον 'pharmakon' = drug is the Health profession that links the Health sciences with the chemical sciences The College had a mainly Jewish student body, and in recognition of that, students were exempt from the then-required course in Catholic theology. The College's longtime dean, Jacob Diner, was also Jewish. [10]

In 1913 the College of St. Francis Xavier was closed, and various colleges were opened at the Woolworth Building in Manhattan. The Woolworth Building, at 57 stories is one of the oldest—and one of the most famous— Skyscrapers in New York City. They were later moved to 302 Broadway. Broadway, as the name implies is a wide avenue in New York City.

In 1961, Fordham Law School opened at the new Lincoln Center campus -- the first building to open in the Lincoln Square Renewal Project. Fordham University School of Law (commonly known as Fordham Law or Fordham Law School) is a part of Fordham University in the United States In 1969, the colleges at 302 Broadway were moved to the new Lowenstein Building on the Lincoln Center campus, and other colleges soon followed.

In 1969 the board of trustees was reorganized to include a majority of non-clergy members, and officially made the University an independent institution. Trustee is a Legal term that refers to a holder of property on behalf of a beneficiary. Clergy is the generic term used to describe the formal religious leadership within a given Religion. The College of Pharmacy closed because of declining enrollment in 1972. Fordham College at Rose Hill became coeducational in 1974, as a result of the merger with Thomas More College (the University’s coordinate college for women opened in 1964). Mixed-sex education, (or just Mixed education) also known as Coeducation, is the integrated education to males and females at the same school facilities

Since its opening in 1968, the undergraduate college in Manhattan has had its name changed from "The Liberal Arts College" to "The College at Lincoln Center" and in 1996 to Fordham College at Lincoln Center. In 1993, a twenty-story residence hall was added to the campus to house 850 graduate and undergraduate students. Dormitory typically refers in the United States to residence halls which are sleeping quarters or entire buildings primarily providing sleeping and residential quarters for

Marymount College, an independent women's college founded in 1907 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (R. Marymount College of Fordham University was a small private women's college in the United States, and part of Fordham University. S. H. M. ) was consolidated into Fordham University in July of 2002. It had been steeped in financial hardship since the 1970s.

In August of 2005, the University announced a multi-year, $1 billion proposed master plan to add 1,500,000 square feet (139,000 m²) of academic, student activities, and dormitory space to the Lincoln Center campus. The development of the campus will begin with the expansion of Quinn Library and the construction of a new Law School building, a new student center, a dormitory, and additional parking. Future phases of the development plan include the construction of new space for Fordham College of Liberal Studies, Fordham College at Lincoln Center, the Graduate School of Business, the Graduate School of Social Service, and the Graduate School of Education. The Fordham Graduate School of Business Administration is a Business school within Fordham University in the United States. [11] In 2007, responding to unforeseen objections and concerns from the upper west side community, Fordham launched a "neighbors" site designed to answer community concerns about the Lincoln Center campus expansion.

The plans for the Lincoln Center campus are part of a university-wide plan to enhance the quality of education at Fordham in an effort to become the prominent and preeminent Catholic institution of higher learning in America. The first part of the strategic plan is entitled Toward 2016, with intent to achieve significant goals by the University's 175th Anniversary. The University pledged to make the consrtruction of a Law School and a science facility as the necessary first steps in that plan[12]

In October of 2005, the University's Board of Trustees declared that Marymount College would be phased out of the Institution by June of 2007. The campus in Tarrytown, New York is now, in part, home to Fordham's Graduate School of Religion & Religious Education and no longer an undergraduate women's college. Tarrytown is a village in the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York, United States. Officials cited financial infeasibility as the cause of the college's elimination. In September 2007 the administration announced that it was seeking a buyer for the Marymount campus, and that its programs would be moved to 400 Westchester Avenue in Harrison, New York by Fall 2008. Harrison is a town/village in Westchester County, New York, United States. University administration stated that the costs of operating the campus exceeded the University's needs.

In December of 2007, the University established the Fordham Museum of Greek, Etruscan and Roman Art at its Bronx campus. The museum contains more than 200 relics from classical antiquity, ranging from Greek terra cotta vases to Roman marble heads to Etruscan urns. The museum was a gift from William D. Walsh, a 1951 graduate and founding chairman of Sequoia Associates. The museum is located at the William D. Walsh Family Library on the Rose Hill campus. It is the largest collection of its kind in the New York metropolitan area. The New York metropolitan area, often referred to as the Tri-State Area, is the most populous Metropolitan area in the United States and is also one [13]

In April of 2008, Fordham entered into an affiliation with Heythrop College, the Jesuit specialist Philosophy and Theology College of the University of London. In doing so, Fordham added to its already strong presence in London. Fordham will utilize a large portion of space at the college, which is located near Kensington Square, in central London. The University of London consortium of colleges consists of such institutions as Kings College London, University College London, and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Fordham hopes that the center will become the London location for all the member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. Fordham will also house its London Dramatic Academy, and College of Business Administration programs at Heythrop as well. [14]

Today Fordham University is the only school to offer a unique one year MA in Elections and Campaign Management which includes a blend of traditional political science and applied politics classes.

Academics

Fordham University's academic ideals are drawn from its Jesuit influences. The University promotes a Jesuit principle known as cura personalis, which fosters a faculty and administration respect for the individual student and their uniqueness, and the Jesuit principle magis which intends to inspire service and strive for excellence in all aspects of life, even beyond the academic. " Cura Personalis " is a Latin phrase that translates as "Care of the Entire Person" Magis (pronounced "màh-gis" is a Jesuit phrase that means "the more" [15]

Core Curriculum

All undergraduate colleges at Fordham share a Core Curriculum that consists of 17–21 courses (depending on foreign language proficiency) drawn from nine disciplines and/or families of disciplines intended to provide a sound liberal arts education. In formal education a curriculum (plural curricula) is the set of courses and their content offered at a School or University. The term liberal arts refers to a particular type of educational Curriculum broadly defined as a Classical education. [16] In outline, the core includes:

Campuses

Fordham University attracts students from around the world, and at the turn of the 21st century had registered students from approximately 90 countries in addition to every US state and territory. [28] To accommodate this student body, the university has two residential campuses: Rose Hill in the Bronx and Lincoln Center in Manhattan. The University also maintains programs at the Marymount campus in Tarrytown, a biological field station in Armonk, New York and two international locations: The Beijing International MBA (BIMBA) in Beijing, China, and the London Center in the United Kingdom, home to the London Drama Academy. Tarrytown is a village in the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York, United States. Armonk is a census-designated place (CDP located in the town of North Castle in Westchester County New York. [29]

The undergraduate Fordham College of Liberal Studies holds classes on all three New York campuses, utilizing the same faculty and curriculum as the other colleges in the University. In addition, the flexibility of multiple campuses facilitates options for both full-time and part-time study and unconventional scheduling, in order to accommodate students who are employed full-time or otherwise unable to take advantage of the offerings at Fordham's other, more centralized, undergraduate colleges.

Songs

Fordham's school song is "Alma Mater Fordham":

O Alma Mater Fordham, How mighty is thy power
to link our hearts to thee in love that grows with every hour.
Thy winding walks, Thy hallowed halls
Thy lawns, Thine ivy-mantled walls;
O Fordham Alma Mater, what mem'ries each recalls.
O Alma Mater Fordham, while yet the life blood starts
Shined by thy sacred image within our heart of hearts.
And in the years that are to be,
May life and love be true to me,
O Fordham Alma Mater, as I am true to thee. . [67]
