I. Scholarships and Fellowships

 

Undergraduate: Fordham University, New York, New York

 

Program Description

 

Fordham, the Jesuit University of New York, is now offering exciting

opportunities in the fields of physics, pre-health, and Orthodox

Christian

Studies. Situated on two campuses in the heart of culture and

commerce, New

York City, Fordham offers undergraduate and graduate students a

distinctive

educational experience rooted in the Jesuit tradition of

intellectual rigor

and personal attention.

 

- The physics program at Fordham is composed of three distinct

programs of

study, the physics major, engineering physics major, and 3-2 and 4-2

engineering program. The physics major gives students a strong

grounding in

physics and prepares students for later graduate studies.

Engineering

majors are given a similar physics foundation and the academic

freedom to

pursue interests in the field of applied science. The 3-2 and 4-2

engineering programs result in dual degrees in physics from Fordham

and

either a bachelors or masters degree in Engineering from either

Columbia

University or Case Western Reserve University.

 

- With a sound academic structure and a strong reputation, Fordham's

pre-health professional program prepares students for success in

medical

school and beyond. During the course of study pre-health students

receive

professions advising, attend a pre-health symposium, have the

opportunity to

pursue research and acquire clinical and volunteer experience, and

have the

option to integrate professional and social life at the Science

Integrated

Learning Community.

 

- Adding to the diverse array of academic options, beginning in the

Fall of

2007, Fordham College of Rose Hill offers an undergraduate

interdisciplinary

minor in Orthodox Christian Studies. The minor consists of two

required

courses and four electives that directly or indirectly explore

Orthodox

culture and tradition taken within the departments of Art & Music

History,

Comparative Literature, History, Medieval Studies, Philosophy, and

Theology.
