FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY
Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) is a not-for-profit, nonsectarian, multicampus institution. Founded in 1942 in the U.S., FDU achieved four-year status in 1948 and approval as a university “of and for the world” in 1956. Degree programs are offered on two New Jersey campuses and at two FDU locations outside the U.S.: Wroxton College, in Oxfordshire in England, and the Vancouver Campus, in British Columbia, Canada. FDU's 12,000+ full-time and part-time students attend classes on days, nights, and weekends to pursue exceptional career-oriented programs. The curriculum represents a global education mission and is built on a nationally recognized core.
Since its founding in 1945, FDU has had a close relationship with the United Nations (UN), and that relationship has grown stronger thanks to our NGO status with the UN's Department of Public Information. Multiple United Nations activities are available to our FDU community through the United Nations Pathways, which is managed by the Office of Global Learning. The United Nations Association of Canada collaborates with the FDU Vancouver Campus. Dennis Strigl, former President and COO of Verizon Communications; Ki-Moon Ban, UN Secretary General; Jeong-eun Hyun, Hyundai Group; Ronald M. Brill, co-founder of Home Depot are among famous FDU alumni.
