FDU to Offer Korean-English Degree

Due to the growing presence of Koreans in North Jersey, Farleigh Dickinson University plans to offer MiraeRo! (To the Future), a three-year liberal arts associate degree. The degree will be offered off-campus, and FDU officials hope to find a site for classes in either Fort Lee, Palisades Park, Leonia, or Ridgefield, towns infamous for its ever-growing Korean presence. Like FDU's Puerta al Futuro (Door the the Future), a four-year program for Spanish-speaking students, the anticipated program will be taught bilingually. MiraeRo! will differ from Puerta al Futuro in that English will be introduced at the start off the program, progressively moving onto the third year, which will be taught completely in English.

Open house information sessions will be held on December 8th and 15th from 10AM - 5PM at Dickinson Hall, located on the Hackensack side of the Metropolitan Campus.
