Serving "life-long learners" is an integral part of FDU's mission. To better meet this goal, in 1998 the University formed Petrocelli College (originally New College), which provides a unified approach toward -- and an enhanced focus on -- the special educational needs of the adult learner.

Petrocelli College's programs include graduate and post-baccalaureate programs, two- and four-year undergraduate degrees, pre-college preparation, and both credit and non-credit certifcation programs, offering the non-traditional student a wide range of continuing education options. Courses are also offered in flexible formats and at convenient times and locations, including both FDU New Jersey campuses and at more than 50 alternate sites throughout the state. 

The programs listed below are non-credit offerings. See Majors and Academic Programs for credit-bearing programs of study.
