It’s created by the interaction of the students who live and study here. They come from as close M E T R O P O L I TA N C A M P U S by as the neighborhood around the corner — and as far away as the most remote corner of the globe. Together, they create an educational experience that is open-minded, respectful of differing ideas and eager to share. : An education that opens doors Hands-on learning drives the academic experience at the Metropolitan Campus. It can mean presenting a paper before a professional society; doing a study of food eating preferences for a class on animal behavior; screening your film at the New York City finale of a national film competition; or meeting with investigators to talk about their work on an unsolved crime. Research and independent study opportunities let you explore your interests in virtually any area of study with the guidance of faculty mentors. Recent student research spanned such diverse topics as The Constitutionality and Ramifications of Gun Control and Microorganisms and Biofuels. The University Honors Program, open to accomplished freshmen and undergraduates, features honors courses and a senior thesis completed in collaboration with a faculty mentor. The Honors House enables honors students from throughout the United States and 20 countries to live and work together. The Global Scholars Program offers students a new way of looking at themselves and their studies through four years of academic, residential and co-curricular activities with a global theme. Students participate in domestic and international experiential learning, including involvement in specialized United Nations programs and activities and a semester abroad. “For any project I worked on, FDU offered me a blank page — the opportunity to do whatever I wanted. The attitude here is: you pick a project and, if it is reasonable, we will fund it. FDU fosters innovation.” Sai Sankar MAJOR: Mechanical Engineering Technology 35 16614 Intl VB Metro Section v2_Layout 1 7/30/12 9:09 PM Page 5 Our name says it all: we are a metropolitan campus in both our outlook and location.
