Life After F&M
The Office of Student & Post-Graduate Development prepares students for their lives and careers beyond college and continues to support them as alumni.
It's the most commonly asked question when you meet someone new: "So, what do you do?"
Although this may suffice for small talk, there is a similar question that speaks volumes about you. It is also at the core of your success after college: "Who do you want to be?"
Franklin & Marshall will give you an advantage over students from other colleges who keep the question waiting, rather than engaging it head on. Here, you will explore it just as you do other intellectual queries, by building a dialogue with faculty, staff and alumni who help you make discoveries.
At the Office of Student & Post-Graduate Development, dedicated coaches partner with you so you can achieve this insight and acquire the skills you need to produce tangible results.
Put Your Degree to Work
You want to major in philosophy. But you—or maybe your parents—are worried the degree won't land you a job.
As a liberal arts college, Franklin & Marshall offers more than 40 majors, and all of them can lead to desirable careers. Just think about the analytical skills you master as a student of philosophy. Would they not be an ideal underpinning for a career in law? What would you think if you knew a Franklin & Marshall chemistry major has served as Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, that a young alumna who majored in French is now a finance analyst at Morgan Stanley, or that a Government major is now chief executive officer for the Miami Dolphins?
You might rethink what counts as practical.
