Fairleigh Dickinson’s Gateway to the Future Program

Enabling Korean-Speaking Adults to Learn English and Earn an Associate in Arts Degree through Progressive English & Korean to All English Coursework

About the program

New Jersey now ranks among the top 3 states in the country in terms of its Korean population. Among them are many newcomers or residents with limited or no English language skills who have immigrated to the United Stated from throughout the Korean peninsula.

For these individuals, the challenges of learning English and advancing their education while working are immense. In response to the growing number of employers interested in providing educational opportunities to their Korean employees, Fairleigh Dickinson has designed an exciting new associate in Arts (A.A.) degree for Korean-speaking adults that make it possible for these men and women to realize their dreams and potential.

By attending evening and Saturday classes as a cohort, Participants in the Gateway to the Future Program develop their English writing and speaking skills through a professional and structured program of study – Plus earn their A.A. degree – in just three years.

This 60 credit program is offered on the university’s Metropolitan Campus in Teaneck, NJ and at various offsite locations. It combines proven, quality language training with the invaluable professional skills acquired through college-level degree: the ability to communicate effectively, think critically and work as a member of a team.

Upon successful completion of the program, students have the credentials needed to transfer into a traditional baccalaureate program at Fairleigh Dickinson or another accredited college or university. The MiraeRo! – gateway to the future – program continues the university’s great tradition of what it does best: working with adults learners, providing them with practical and professional education they need to further their careers.
