Programs

Go to: PROGRAM FINDER (fdu.edu/program-finder)

The Program Finder is essentially a web version of the Academic Bulletins, with links to Admissions and the corresponding college, school, or department for additional information.

Adding/editing Topics

• Program Details. When you are Editing a /program/, the Program Details section has a field (erroneously) labeled Program Format. It is the Topic. You should be able to click the field and see the options in a vertical pop-up list.
• Quick Edit. When you are in the Dashboard looking at All Programs, the Quick Edit option has a similar field, properly labeled Program Topics. Here, the list does not show up automatically when you click in the field. However, when you type two letters, any topic with that sequence will show in the pop-up. (If you are adding to the list, follow a topic with comma-space.) e.g. “ar” will display Arts and Pharmacy. It’s enough to help prevent typos.

Degree naming conventions

Degree titles standardized for concise readability

• The degree initialism does not include periods: MBA, PharmD, BA, MS
• Omit the word “in” in the Program Finder and in the title of the program page. It’s fine to use the word “in” elsewhere in the body copy.
• Use “and” instead of the ampersand (&).
• Capitalize the degree initialism, the major, concentration, and track.
• Lowercase the words “concentration,” “combined degree,” “certificate,” and “track.”
• Use the colon as used in the examples.
• Never abbreviate anything.
• No hyphens in email, ecommerce, website, cybersecurity, online.
• The short version of the campus name should be used, in parentheses, if a degree with the same name is on more than one campus and has different degree requirements. Use title case, even if the “campus” is “Online.” This is done for consistency. Short campus names are: Metro, Florham, Wroxton, Vancouver, Online.
• in the url name,
  • Drop “stop” words (and, the, of, in, with, etc.).
  • Use “combined” instead of “combined-degree.”
  • Omit the word “concentration.”
