The largest private university in New Jersey, FDU is a not-for-profit, nonsectarian, multicampus institution. Founded in 1942, FDU achieved four-year status in 1948 and approval as a university in 1956.

The University offers over 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, including doctoral programs in pharmacy, nursing practice, clinical psychology and school psychology; and an AACSB-accredited business school. 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- and part-time students pursue quality career-oriented programs on schedules tailored to their needs — days, evenings and weekends.

The curriculum reflects a mission of global education and a foundation of a nationally-renowned Core.

FDU is proud to be the first university in the world to be granted Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council. FDU also is affiliated with the UN Academic Impact program, the Department of Global Communications, the World Tourism Organization, and Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), as well as the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relations with the United Nations (CoNGO).
