• An agreement has been formalized with Ocean County College, making them the 14th school to establish a Burgundy-Blue Connection with the University. The Burgundy-Blue program assists students enrolled at Ocean County College to pursue a full-time associate’s degree followed by a full-time bachelor’s degree from either New Jersey campus of Fairleigh Dickinson. Through this dual admissions agreement, the movement from the associate’s degree through the bachelor’s degree becomes seamless. A student who maintains a 2.50 cumulative grade point ratio at Ocean County College and earns the associate’s degree will be awarded a Burgundy-Blue Connection Achievement Grant, which essentially reimburses the tuition cost of the associate degree to these high-achieving graduates. This grant will be equivalent to the tuition charged at the county college for a county resident, divided by the number of years required to complete the FDU degree program.
