Learn with Purpose
Craft Your Distinctive Academic Path
F&M’s liberal arts model is built for curious minds. Guided by our Connections curriculum, you’ll embark on a two-year journey of discovery, diving into favorite subjects, uncovering new interests, and building an academic experience entirely your own before declaring your major at the end of your sophomore year. You can pursue:
- Single, double, or joint majors (custom majors that combines two or more disciplines)
- Minors, which give you space to complement your primary study or branch out into another academic passion
- Certificates, which are specialized pathways that supplement your major and blend multiple academic perspectives

Career Center Advising Programs
F&M's liberal arts model is at the heart of our Center for Career and Professional Development: receiving targeted, expert guidance while exploring a wide range of post-graduate paths to discover your professional calling and develop the skills you need to succeed. To help you navigate this exploration and discovery, our career guidance is structured through “career communities” – dynamic groups aligned with specific industries that transform your aspirations into clear options, meaningful opportunities, and a network of support.
Among these career communities are our specialized advising programs in healthcare; law; STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), which act as supplements to your chosen major.
