Drucker noted that the founders of Fairleigh Dickinson were “…one of the new generation of American academic entrepreneurs” in the higher education system after World War II. At the time of its creation, FDU was a private university that targeted “mid-career” students as well as the traditional high school graduates. Throughout the years, the University has retained its entrepreneurial spirit as it has continually modified its curriculum and schedules and created new venues to fulfill its mission.
