FDU honors 72 credits earned at Yeshiva toward their BA. In addition, another 18 credits can be transferred. There is a residency requirement of only 30 classroom credits at FDU totaling 120 credits.
The 30 credits include:- Accounting 1
- Accounting 2
- Economics 1
- Economics 2
- Finance 1
- Finance 2
- Marketing
- Business Law
- Business Ethics
- Business in a Global Society
- Business Communications
The additional 18 credits could come about in a number of ways: actual courses in addition to the 30 credits taken on a FDU campus, CLEP credits, classes taken at other colleges, or credits given in recognition of other types of certified training a student may have had, for example:
- Police academy completion
- Firefighter certification
- Emergency medical technician certification
- Other certificates
FDU Location:
The closest location is in Montvale, NJ. Montvale is a 15-20 minute drive from Ohr Somayach. A car or taxi is necessary
Cost:
The cost is discounted at the above location. Please contact FDU for updated tuition information.
Half Day Yeshiva-Half Day University:
As afternoon and evening classes are available at FDU, Teaneck, and other local colleges, a student could also go half days to both institutions. Note that on site courses at FDU have additional costs.
Projected time frame:
The timing of sessions is fairly varied. The “quick degree” (i.e. fulfillment of 30 residency requirement), can be fulfilled between summer classes which are 10-15 credits per summer, Holiday breaks, and evening classes. With any mix of these options, the 30 credits would come about in 14 month time span.
