The College maintains an affiliation with the neighboring Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, enabling Fordham students to earn credit for studio dance courses. The New York Film Festival, based next door, is the basis for an annual course at the College. The College's urban location also allows students to confront the pressing social and ethical questions of modern life, issues of justice, equality, community, diversity, faith and human dignity. A United Nations Field Study program is available to seniors. The social work major and education program immerse students in the work of the city.
All seniors participate in a seminar in values and moral choices.
Combining the resourses of New York City with those of Fordham's Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses enables FCLC to offer a distinctive educational experience as we enter the twenty-first century. The transition to college is facilitated by a program of special freshman seminars and a system of active faculty advising. The College welcomes transfer students. Many graduates of the College continue their education at medical, dental law, graduate, and other professional schools across the United States and abroad. A strong, full-time, Arts and Sciences faculty of about one hundred is based at Lincoln Center and is augmented with colleagues from the Rose Hill campus.
