Dos Mundos Unidos
February, Dominican Heritage Month, is an appropriate time for Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) and Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, to establish their historic partnership, Dos Mundos Unidos (Two Worlds United), which combines study in New Jersey and the Dominican Republic.
Beginning in September of 2006, the two universities will offer a program in which students earn a bachelor of arts in individualized studies from Fairleigh Dickinson, with half the course work done at FDU and half in the Dominican Republic. During the freshman and senior years, students will study at the Metropolitan Campus, and in the sophomore and junior years, they will study at PUCMM.
Students will earn a concentration in Latin-American studies, complementing their chosen area of study (business; hotel, restaurant and tourism management; or business, communications and technology) and providing them with the global perspective needed to be successful. For information on the program, contact Rick Isquith, executive director, global partnerships, and director, natural sciences (Metro), at 201-692-2392 or isquith@fdu.edu or go to http://inside.fdu.edu/prpt/dosmundos.html .
