How We Teach and Learn at F&M
At Franklin & Marshall College, the world is at your fingertips. Whether you were born knowing your path or you’re unsure which fork in the road to follow, you’ll have extraordinary opportunities to explore any and all of your passions, and even discover passions you didn’t know you had.
At F&M, we believe that education is not one-size-fits-all. It’s one-size-fits-one. Students who come to F&M are big thinkers, self-starters and entrepreneurs, and each one embarks on an educational journey that’s unique to them.
If you want to take control of your education, engage, test ideas and stand out, F&M is the place for you. You'll explore sciences, arts, humanities and social sciences and gain the confidence to pursue whatever you dream. Because with a liberal arts education from F&M, you can do it all.
Student Research at F&M
The cornerstone of the educational experience we offer is students working side-by-side with faculty who want to help them test ideas—not just talk or read about them. These are not experiences you have to wait until graduate school to pursue. It's a core part of what we do.

Our focus on global education recognizes that, no matter where life takes students after F&M, they will be working and living with people with vastly different ways of perceiving our world. A global education helps students begin to understand how to negotiate these differences, strengthening abilities to successfully live and work in our increasingly global society.
Our commitment to this global perspective is not only reflected in our curriculum—such as our international studies programs and our numerous language programs—and our study abroad opportunities, but as well as our strong global presence on campus. Seventeen percent of our students come from abroad to study here in the U.S.
