Our curriculum places an emphasis on problem solving, critical thinking, and building resilience. Faculty and students work together to develop healthcare leadership, promote interprofessional collaboration, and further equity and inclusivity. Our innovative teaching and learning approaches address a variety of learning styles and engage students from both nearby and distant locations. Emphasis is placed on developing lifelong learners.
Tuition Discount for Graduate Nursing Students
Effective immediately, all registered nurses working (e.g., full time, part-time, per diem, agency) in a healthcare facility with which FDU has a clinical affiliation agreement will be eligible to receive the annual “Tier 2/Tier 3” tuition discount for graduate nursing education. For 2022-23, this rate is:
- $865/Master’s-level credit

Enrolled students requesting this discounted rate should make an appointment (201-456-9008) to present their active healthcare facility identification badge to one of our offices within the first two weeks of each semester. The name of the facility will be confirmed against our clinical contracts database, and the discount applied upon confirmation.
