Out-of-the-Classroom Learning
At F&M, our emphasis on hands-on experiential learning means every student has opportunities to step out of the classroom and into the field. When you study humanities at F&M, you’ll collaborate with world-class humanities faculty, engage with the community, and get practical, real-world experience to pursue your intellectual passions while building skills to launch your career. Our off-campus study and research opportunities provide the opportunity for hands-on explorations of questions students elsewhere might only read about.
