Learn with Purpose
Craft Your Distinctive Academic Path
Your education should be as unique as you are. F&M’s liberal arts model is specifically built for exploration, giving you two years to dive into your interests and expand your intellectual horizons before declaring your major at the end of your sophomore year. This discovery allows you to design an academic path that is precisely tailored to your interests and goals. We offer:
-
- 52 majors and minors, including the option to double or joint major (a joint major is a custom major that combines a field with another discipline). More than a third of F&M students declare more than one major or design a special studies or joint major.
- 10 certificates, which are supplemental educational pathways you can pursue outside of your major or minor. Each certificate blends perspectives from multiple disciplines.

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.
