Get Ready to Seize the Moment and Change Your World

At Fairleigh Dickinson University, students are able to seize the moment and change their world because everyone within the FDU community rallies around one single goal: Students First.

That's why, as New Jersey's largest private university, we're known as being "personal"--just listen to what some of our students have to say about their FDU experience. With more than 100 degree programs at the associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels, FDU offers a wide range of in-demand majors with an 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio. So you'll have the benefits of a major university, including the expertise of faculty who bring their strong academic and industry experience to the classroom (and beyond)--but you'll never be 'just a number' at FDU.

In addition to a built-in global perspective given FDU's four campuses--two in New Jersey in Teaneck and Madison, as well as two international campuses in Wroxton, England and Vancouver, Canada, along with plenty of study abroad opportunities, FDU highlights also include:

* FDU Health: Fairleigh Dickinson University offers a diverse range of in-demand, health-related degree programs, creating opportunities for vertical and cross-discipline synergies sought by today's healthcare employers, in addition to benefitting students, faculty and the overall learning environment.

* Interdisciplinary Learning: Many FDU majors include an interdisciplinary component, allowing students to blend areas of study to best achieve educational goals while ensuring career readiness.

* Internships and immersive learning: The FDU approach to learning is more hands-on and connected to a working environment. Students engage with Career Development and internship opportunities starting in their first year. The Hospitality Management Immersion program is fully resort-based and blends academic work with paid work. FDU Theater Program has an exclusive partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC)--FDU is the only American university to offer a residential study abroad program giving students the opportunity to train with the RSC.

* Diverse student body: FDU has a diverse student body, with students from more than 50 countries. This diversity creates a vibrant and stimulating academic environment. The highly engaged FDU Hispanic Center is proud to be celebrating its 20th year.

* Moon Shot for Equity: FDU has joined the "Moon Shot for Equity" partnership as the first private college in New Jersey to join the national network of colleges and universities committed to eliminating equity gaps in higher education.

* Strong athletics: FDU has a strong athletics program, with teams competing in the NCAA Division I and Division III. The university's men's basketball team has won two national championships, and the women's basketball team has won one national championship. FDU also has several other successful teams, including football, baseball, softball, and lacrosse.

In addition to its strong academics and vibrant campus life, FDU also offers several other benefits to students, including:

* Small class sizes for a personal approach: FDU's class sizes are typically small, with an 11-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, which allows students to get to know their professors and classmates well. This makes it easier for students to get help when they need it, and it also creates a more personal and supportive learning environment.

* Excellent financial aid: FDU offers a variety of financial aid programs, including merit awards, scholarships, grants, and loans. This means most students can afford to attend FDU, regardless of their financial circumstances.
