The Leader in Global Education

Created as an institution "of and for the world," Fairleigh Dickinson University has long cultivated a rich understanding of our global society. FDU formalized this historical commitment when it adopted its mission: to prepare students for world citizenship through global education.

University Mission 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 multidisciplinary, intercultural and ethical understandings necessary to participate, lead and prosper in the global marketplace of ideas, commerce and culture.

Under this common banner, each of the University campuses has a unique character and vitality. Fairleigh Dickinson University presents global issues throughout its curriculum, provides programs in many countries and unique study-abroad experiences, and is home to hundreds of international students. Students benefit from studying at a comprehensive university that offers a wide range of programs and courses, but they also enjoy an atmosphere of warmth and personal attention usually found at much smaller institutions.

As Fairleigh Dickinson University embarks on a new era, it looks back with tremendous pride to the accomplishments achieved and looks ahead to even greater levels of excellence.
