Our History & Our Future

Founded in 1787

Franklin & Marshall College is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the United States. Its roots go back to Franklin College, founded in 1787 with a generous financial contribution of 200 English pounds from Benjamin Franklin.

Strategic Planning

As F&M defines our next strategic plan, we invite our community to follow our progress and get involved. Driven by our core mission and institutional values, our goal is to chart a direction that ensures F&M continues to successfully educate thoughtful, creative, and courageous leaders.

Centers, Institutes & Initiatives

Franklin & Marshall’s students, faculty and professional staff are dedicated to effecting positive, lasting change on campus, in Lancaster, and in the world. To that end, we have created dedicated spaces for those changemakers to gather, develop ideas, and build community around shared goals. Explore those places and discover how they add value to the academic and social experiences of our students.
