School Description
Provided by Fairleigh Dickinson University, Metropolitan Campus- TeaneckFounded in 1942 by Dr. Peter Sammartino and his wife, Sylvia (Sally), Fairleigh Dickinson University has grown into the largest private university in New Jersey. Today, more than 10,000 students from 32 states in the nation and 72 other countries are enrolled on the University's two campuses in northern New Jersey and its international campuses in Wroxton, England and Vancouver, Canada. Beginning as a two-year junior college, Fairleigh Dickinson expanded to a four-year curriculum in 1948 to fill the need for higher education in northern New Jersey. In 1954, the first graduate program, a master's degree in business administration, was offered, and Bergen Junior College was purchased as a second campus, Teaneck. In 1956, Fairleigh Dickinson gained University status and, one year later, the 178-acre Vanderbilt-Twombly estate was acquired in Madison to serve as a third campus (College at Florham).
Fairleigh Dickinson University is a center of academic excellence dedicated to the preparation of world citizens through global education. The University strives to provide students with the multi-disciplinary, intercultural, and ethical understandings necessary to participate, lead, and prosper in the global marketplace of ideas, commerce and culture.
FDU’s bustling suburban campus is next door to New York City and home to many of FDU’s professional study programs. The richly diverse environment and mix of cultures and ideas ensure that there’s always something happening at the Metropolitan Campus. Many of the buildings on our campus have views of the Hackensack River as it flows through the campus.
Fairleigh Dickinson University, Metropolitan Campus- Teaneck
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaFairleigh Dickinson University is an American private university founded in 1942. It is the largest private university in New Jersey and is the only college or university to physically offer instruction in all 21 counties in New Jersey.; While primarily based on two separate New Jersey campuses, Fairleigh Dickinson owns and operates two international campuses and has numerous partnerships with leading colleges and universities around the world. These partnerships, its NGO status with the United Nations and its Global Virtual Faculty Program form the basis for Fairleigh Dickinson's focus on global education.
Description
The institution has two main campuses: the College at Florham in Madison and Florham Park which is centered on the former estate of Florence Vanderbilt and Hamilton Twombly, and the Metropolitan Campus located close to New York City and spanning the Hackensack River in Teaneck and Hackensack. It also owns two international campuses. One in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and another in Wroxton, England known as Wroxton College. Fairleigh Dickinson acquired the Wroxton Abbey, now home to Wroxton College, from Trinity College, Oxford University in 1965. Fairleigh Dickinson was the first American university to own and operate its own campus in England. In 2007, the university began offering degree programs at a site in Vancouver, British Columbia.
While both New Jersey campuses have a variety of courses and programs, the College at Florham emphasizes traditional liberal arts offerings, while the Metropolitan Campus is gradually placing more and more emphasis on professionally oriented study. The Metropolitan Campus, while it has residence halls, is largely a commuter campus. Fairleigh Dickinson is home to the QUEST program, where students can study any major and combine their bachelor's degree with a master's in education. FDU also offers AACSB-accredited graduate business courses through its Silberman College of Business. In 2007, Fairleigh Dickinson's Silberman College of Business was Ranked as one of the top 282 Business Schools in the country by Princeton Review. The University has had long-standing connections with the United Nations, offering qualified students opportunities for internships with the UN and its associated agencies.
