Global Education Programs
As part of its commitment to educating students “of and for the world,” the university has established partnerships with other academic institutions around the globe to bring their students to FDU and simultaneously provide places for FDU students to go. In these partnerships, both parties agree to encourage activities to promote international academic co-operation:
- Exchange of materials in education and research, e.g. publications
- Exchange of faculty, research scholars, and students
- Establishment of programs for each other’s students
- Joint research and meetings for education and research
Typical programs that have been developed include many undergraduate programs in which students can spend three years at their home institution and then come to FDU for one year to complete an undergraduate degree. These “3 Plus 1” programs permit students to earn an FDU degree by earning 25% of their required credits and 50% of their major credits at FDU. At the graduate level, cooperation in MBA programs has European and Indian faculty teaching at FDU and our faculty teaching in places such as India and Monaco. Students, also, move among these sites to complete their studies.
