Teaneck-Hackensack Campus Mission 

The search for a new identity for the Teaneck-Hackensack Campus began in September with 10 focus groups, was refined in October and November and finalized in December. The following is the approved mission statement.

The Teaneck-Hackensack Campus provides its students with a professionally-oriented global education drawing on the resources of the New York metropolitan region, as well as the campus’s own cosmopolitan faculty and student body. The campus’s undergraduate programs provide a strong foundation in the liberal arts as the best basis for professional success and thoughtful citizenship. As a mark of its commitment to preparing or retraining students for the working world, the campus offers a variety of accelerated degree programs and work experiences in addition to a wide array of graduate and certificate programs. Small classes keep the educational process personal. Student initiative and preparedness for employment are encouraged through support of student research, participation in faculty research and involvement in co-curricular activities. These features of the Teaneck-Hackensack Campus education serve Fairleigh Dickinson University’s mission to equip its students with an education suited to an age when development anywhere in the world can rapidly affect communities and workplaces everywhere.
