Set on a historic, 178-acre estate originally landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted for the Vanderbilt family, Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Florham Campus offers a picturesque, close-knit collegiate experience just an hour's train ride from New York City. The campus is highly regarded for its strong pre-professional and liberal arts offerings, particularly within the AACSB-accredited Silberman College of Business and its acclaimed undergraduate programs in theater, creative writing, and the health sciences. Student life is defined by an active, residential community featuring Division III Devils athletics, vibrant campus programming, and a supportive environment with small class sizes led by mentoring faculty. A unique hallmark of the Florham experience is the seamless opportunity to study abroad at Wroxton College, FDU's fully owned 17th-century Jacobean mansion in Oxfordshire, England.
