Academic Life

What makes Franklin & Marshall College distinctive is the way in which we “do the liberal arts.” Here, the classroom extends beyond the four walls and provides hands-on learning and undergraduate research opportunities in the local community and abroad. Whether it is listening to a lecture on playing the blues, working to secure political asylum for a refugee, or developing an idea for a local stock exchange, our students are exposed to and involved in the world of knowledge that surrounds them.
