Early College Dual Enrollment Information for High School Partners
The Early College Dual Enrollment registration window for Spring 2026 is open through Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Dual Enrollment program was first established in 1984 (formerly called “Middle College”) and was among the first in the country to enter this space. Today, FDU partners with more than 100 high schools in New Jersey, New York, and beyond, and offers more than 3,000 students the opportunity to get a jumpstart on their college education. The Early College Dual Enrollment program at FDU allows high school students to take credit-bearing FDU courses from the comfort of their high school classrooms. Classes are taught by home-district high school teachers who have met certain criteria and who work from FDU course syllabi and with the support of FDU faculty mentors.
