Faith and Religious Traditions

Fordham is a University in the Catholic and Jesuit traditions and we abide by the principles of religious freedom that protect the rights of individuals to practice their own religion. We welcome all of our students and hope that the richness of spiritual and religious traditions is a blessing to all of us!
