Our Story

An Adelphi education is a life-changing experience.

Founded in 1863 and recognized annually by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s Best Colleges, Adelphi University is distinguished by top academic programs across a wide range of subjects: Arts and Humanities, STEM and Social Sciences, Business and Education Professions, and Health and Wellness.

But beyond the subjects we teach is the way in which we teach them. In small classes, where professors know everyone’s name, students receive an extraordinary level of personalized attention and support, hands-on learning, exceptional mentorship, research opportunities and award-winning career guidance.

Students from an exceptionally wide range of cultures and backgrounds receive the academic and financial support they need to build success—giving Adelphi students graduating salaries that are consistently higher than the national average, year after year.

Adelphi welcomes students of all ages, and takes pride in the achievements of our students, faculty and more than 119,000 alumni.

Why do we need a Style Guide and Brand Center?

Our University colors, font, messaging, and style are very important. They set us apart from every other college or university. It is the look of our communications, the tone we use to communicate, and the stories we choose to tell. With a strong, clear, easily identifiable brand, we present a singular and well-defined image to our students, our campus, our alumni and donors, the media, and the outside world.
