Fairleigh Dickinson University is a private university founded as a junior college in 1942. It now has several campuses located in New Jersey, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Description

Fairleigh Dickinson Univerity is New Jersey's largest private institution with 12,000+ students. The institution has two main campuses located in New Jersey: the College at Florham in Madison, 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, and another in Wroxton, England, known as Wroxton College. In 1965, Fairleigh Dickinson University acquired the Wroxton Abbey, now home to Wroxton College, from Trinity College, Oxford becoming the first American university to own and operate its own campus in England, and the first to own and operate a campus outside the United States.[3][4] In 2007, the university began offering degree programs at a new campus in the downtown neighborhood of Yaletown in Vancouver, British Columbia named FDU-Vancouver.[5]

History

Fairleigh Dickinson University was founded in 1942 as a junior college by Dr. Peter Sammartino and wife Sally and was named after an early benefactor Colonel Fairleigh S. Dickinson, co-founder of Becton Dickinson.[6] By 1948, Fairleigh Dickinson College expanded its curriculum to offer a four-year program when the GI Bill and veterans' money encouraged it to redesignate itself. In that same year, the school received accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1956, the same year the University acquired the former Twombly-Vanderbilt estate in Madison, the institution was recognized as Fairleigh Dickinson University by the New Jersey State Board of Education. Fairleigh Dickinson University is a member of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.[7]

Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, was also commissioned to design the landscape for the Twombly-Vanderbilt estate (now the College at Florham campus). The main house of the Twombly-Vanderbilt estate, now Hennessy Hall, was designed by architectural firm McKim, Mead, and White in the Georgian Revival style. The mansion was completed in 1897 and was modeled after the wing of Hampton Court Palace designed by architect Christopher Wren.[8]

In addition to the present campuses, Fairleigh Dickinson University operated campuses in Rutherford, NJ (where the University was founded in 1942) and in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Operations on the Rutherford Campus were merged with the Metropolitan Campus in 1993 and the Rutherford Campus was later sold to Felician College. The West Indies Laboratory which opened in 1972 was damaged beyond repair during Hurricane Hugo and was closed shortly afterwards in 1990.[9]

In 2001, Ron Howard's award winning movie A Beautiful Mind was partly filmed at Fairleigh Dickinson's College at Florham.[10]

During the 2008–2009 academic year the College at Florham celebrated a year-long celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of that campus.[11]

The alma mater of all the campuses is the following:

Praise to thee, O Alma Mater, faithfully we sing, Hear our joyful voices ringing, Fairleigh Dickinson. Campus halls, that oft recall us, memories will bring, Campus lights will ever guide us, when the day is done. Alma Mater, we will cherish each day of the years We were privileged to spend here, tho’our parting nears.

Academics

Both New Jersey campuses have a wide variety of courses and programs. The College at Florham emphasizes liberal arts and sciences, including pre-professional studies such as pre-law and pre-medicine, in a traditional, residential, small college setting. The Metropolitan Campus offers both liberal arts and sciences yet places more emphasis on professional study including engineering, nursing, and criminal justice. The Metropolitan Campus, while it has residence halls, is also a commuter campus, and has a significant international student population. Both New Jersey campuses are home to the QUEST program, in which students can study any major and combine their bachelor's degree with a master's in education.

FDU offers AACSB-accredited graduate and undergraduate business degrees through its Silberman College of Business.[12] In 2010, Fairleigh Dickinson's Silberman College of Business was Ranked as one of the top 301 Business Schools in the country by Princeton Review.[13] The University is ranked 81st by US News and World Report Best Colleges 2012 rankings in the Northeast for Tier 1 Universities-Masters.[14] The University has had long-standing connections with the UN, offering qualified students opportunities for internships with the UN and its associated agencies.[15] Fairleigh Dickinson University is formally recognized by the United Nations as an NGO by the UN Department of Public Information.[16] In 2009, the university became the first college to receive special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).[17] Since 2002 the university has hosted more than 70 United Nations ambassadors and officials as part of their U.N. Pathways Forum.[18]

Fairleigh Dickinson consists of four academic colleges: Becton College of Arts and Sciences (based at the College at Florham), University College of Arts, Sciences and Professional Studies (based on the Metropolitan Campus), Silberman College of Business, and Petrocelli College of Continuing Studies. The latter two colleges provide academic offerings at both New Jersey campuses. The Silberman College of Business also makes up the core offering for FDU Vancouver with Bachelors and Masters degrees. The Silberman College entrepreneurial studies program has been rated as one of the best in the U.S.[19] In 2006, The Rothman Institute of Entrepreneurship was ranked the 7th undergraduate entrepreneurial school in the nation by Entrepreneur Magazine and The Princeton Review.[20]

Fairleigh Dickinson is the largest private university in the State of New Jersey with over 12,000 students.[21] In total, there are about 8,500 undergraduate (2,500-College at Florham, 6,000-Metropolitan Campus) and 3,500 graduate (1,000-College at Florham, 2,500-Metropolitan Campus) students of which many are international students.[22] FDU has over 1200 international students from over 85 countries ranking it 15th nationally among their Carnegie peer group.[23] The majority of international students attend the Metropolitan Campus and FDU Vancouver which was founded primarily to educate international students.[24] FDU Vancouver is the first American owned and operated institution in British Columbia to receive university status.[25]

Between the three libraries and one archive located at FDU's College at Florham and Metropolitan campuses the university library system holds over 300,000 titles. The College at Florham library is housed in the old orangerie of the Twombly-Vanderbilt estate which was built in the 1890s by McKim, Mead, and White. The Metropolitan campus features the Giovatto Library, the Business Reference Library in Dickinson Hall, and the North Jersey Heritage Center (an archival collection of New Jersey books, documents, maps, newspapers and reference material, as well as FDU history). The New Jersey collection began in 1961 when FDU became one of the earliest participants in the New Jersey Document Program listed as 4th in precedence out of 80 depositories behind the Council of State Government, Rutgers University and the NJ State Library.[26][27]

Fairleigh Dickinson University publishes its own quarterly literary journal called The Literary Review which was founded in 1957. The journal is published through the Fairleigh Dickinson University Press which was founded in 1967. The FDU University Press has independently published more than 1500 books since its founding. FDU Press was a founding member of Associated University Presses and continued to be until 2010 when the company ceased publishing new titles. In 2010, the FDU Press began printing titles in conjunction with Rowman & Littlefield.[28]

Fairleigh Dickinson University's International School of Hospitality and Tourism Management features the US national headquarters of the international gastronomic society Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs located at the Chaîne House on the College at Florham campus.[29]

On February 3, 2011, FDU along with Medco Health Solutions announced the establishment of a pharmacy school at the university that will open in the fall of 2012. The Medco Pharmacy School will be situated near the College at Florham Campus and will be only the 2nd pharmacy school in the State of New Jersey.[30]

Athletics

In intercollegiate athletics, the Metropolitan Campus competes in NCAA Division I, while the College at Florham competes in Division III, making it one of only a few schools in the United States to field both Division I and Division III teams. The teams at the Metropolitan Campus are known as the Knights, while the Florham Campus teams are known as the Devils.

Metropolitan Campus

Athletically, the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights compete in the NCAA's Northeast Conference and Division I. Their mascot is Nitro (sometimes spelled Knightro) the Knight. A recent achievement for the Knights men's basketball team was in the 2005 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament where they made the NCAA Tournament as a sixteenth seed and gave the top seeded Illinois Fighting Illini a huge scare. Being only down 1 at the half, the Knights played well and held their own for a while. However, in the second half the Illini pulled away from FDU and won the game by 12.

In 2010, Fairleigh Dickinson University's women bowling team captured its 2nd National Championship (the first being in 2006). The Knights managed to upset the defending National Champion Nebraska Cornhuskers. Fairleigh Dickinson prevailed with a 4 games to 3 victory. The title game was held at the Brunswick Zone Carolier Lanes in North Brunswick, NJ.

Also the women's golf team has won 4 straight NEC conference championships (2008–2011).

The men's golf team has won 4 straight MAC conference championships (2005–2009).

PublicMind

Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind is an independent research group that conducts public opinion polling and other research on politics, society, popular culture, consumer behavior and economic trends.[31] PublicMind associates undertake scientific survey research for corporations, non-profits, and government agencies as well as for the public interest.[32]

PublicMind has conducted well-publicized survey research on:

PublicMind also:

  • created the New Jersey Index of Consumer Performance and Index of Consumer Intentions.[38]

Recent PublicMind Research

  • In 2006 PublicMind anticipated, through the use of priming experiments, that the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in New Jersey, Tom Kean, Jr. would relinquish his early lead in the polls to Democrat Bob Menendez because of the profound unpopularity of then Pres. George W. Bush and the U.S. war in Iraq[39]
  • In 2007–2008 PublicMind polled presidential primary races between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and concluded, contrary to many polls, that a significant portion of US voters were not ready for a woman as president[40]
  • In the 2008 general election PublicMind polled voters in Delaware and Alaska to compare their attitudes towards vice-presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin who hailed from Delaware and Alaska. PublicMind showed that while both candidates were exceptionally popular in their own state, Alaskans saw Joe Biden as the candidate better suited to become president. FDU poll results in Alaska and Delaware mirrored sentiment in national polls suggesting that Biden was the more “experienced” candidate[41][42][43]
  • In 2009 PublicMind researchers showed that support for a third party candidate was systematically over-estimated by pollsters simply by identifying the candidate as “the independent.”[44]
  • In 2011 PublicMind researchers concluded that, contrary to the complaints of many New Jersey politicians, including Gov. Chris Christie, the reality TV show Jersey Shore was not hurting New Jersey’s image. Peter Woolley added in a poll release, “…the show isn’t hurting the nation’s view of the state. In fact, it may be promoting one of the state’s best features—not Snooki, but the shore itself.”[45]
