Overview

FDU’s Florham Campus is a 4-year private liberal arts college in northern New Jersey.   FDU grants associates, bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in a wide range of academic programs, including our career-connected FDU Health offerings.

The Campus offers a classic college experience in Morris County.  It is located on a former country estate of early 1900s-era socialites, and its landscape was designed by Central Park landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead.  FDU’s Florham Campus is primarily a residential campus, supported by a strong student life program.  It boasts active fraternities and sororities, diverse student activities, dynamic NCAA Division III and intramural athletics programs.  

FDU’s Florham Campus offers proximity to New York City, where you can enjoy Broadway, Wall Street, and the United Nations up close and in person.  It is a short walk from campus to the local NJ Transit station for a train ride to New York.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.
