Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) is a private university. Founded in 1942, it operates as an independent, nonprofit institution with campuses in New Jersey and Vancouver, Canada. Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, FDU relies on tuition, donations, and endowments.
The university offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. As a private institution, FDU has greater flexibility in curriculum design and resource allocation. It is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, ensuring academic quality and recognition.
