Independent Research

The majority of pre-healing arts students pursue independent research with faculty in and out of the sciences. You may pursue an independent study with a mentor in your major during the academic year as well as pursue a summer research opportunity through the College's Hackman Fellowship Program. This past summer, for instance, over 50 students were awarded Hackman research grants to conduct full-time research with F&M faculty.

For more information on summer opportunities, visit one or more of the following sites:

• The Hackman Summer Research Program

Every year, over a hundred Franklin & Marshall students win awards for summer research, study, or internships. The College funds most, but some are funded by outside organizations, often in cooperation with F&M departments and offices.
