Real-World Learning
Are there theories you can’t wait to investigate once you get to college? At F&M,
you’ll work and learn side-by-side with faculty to test your ideas—not just read or
talk about them. We provide resources and opportunities to make hands-on learning
the cornerstone of our educational experience. Gain experience now and a competitive advantage later. Internships allow you to explore
careers of interest and build your portfolio while shaping and inspiring your path
after graduation. Travel the globe to become a well-rounded scholar and person. Studying off campus
gives you extraordinary opportunities to encounter, engage with, and understand perspectives
around the world, strengthening your ability to live and work in our global society.Research

October 1, 2025 A Diplomat's influence reaches everywhere — even the skies of Japan. This summer, a handful of astrophysics majors and their professor enjoyed a two-week trip to Japan that was “part pulsar science expedition, part cultural exchange related to the NANOStars program at F&M," says Fronefield Crawford, Charles A. Dana Professor of Physics and Astronomy. September 29, 2025 Roselyn Ovalles ’26 and Grace Uwezukwe ’26 spent the summer monitoring the Susquehanna River and its many local tributaries as interns with the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association. September 17, 2025 Eleanor Metz '27 did more than study Roman history this summer. She lived it in the 18th-century city of Bath – one of England’s most significant cultural sites – through F&M’s Advanced Studies in England program.Diplomats Beyond the Classroom
