Message from the Dean

Welcome to Olsen College of Engineering and Science at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Olsen College is home to a vibrant community of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders across engineering, computer science, mathematics, and the natural and physical sciences. Our mission is to prepare students for success in a rapidly changing world through rigorous academics, hands-on learning, and real-world experiences.

From cutting-edge research in areas such as artificial intelligence, sustainable design, and structural engineering, to pioneering studies in biology, chemistry and biochemistry, our faculty and students are exploring new frontiers of discovery. Through collaborations with industry and community partners, they are driving technological innovation, advancing sustainable practices, developing new therapies, contributing to health and biomedical progress, and deepening our understanding of the principles that shape life and matter.

As Olsen students, you will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, where you can work side by side with faculty on real-world challenges that prepare you to make a meaningful impact. We are committed to cultivating an environment where intellectual curiosity flourishes and collaboration across disciplines fuels innovation.

I invite you to explore our programs, connect with our faculty, and join us in shaping the future of engineering and science at FDU. Together, we will build a future defined by knowledge, discovery, and service.
