The Lasting Value of an F&M Education
An Investment That Secures Your Future
F&M is invested in your professional development and success starting the first day
you step foot on campus. Within six months after graduating, 92% of F&M's Class of 2025 were employed or furthering
their studies. This is higher than the national average, which is typically in the
mid-80% range. In their early careers, our graduates earn a median $76,124 — $20,000
higher than the four-year college midpoint. Our graduates also are at the top of their
industries, demonstrating the distinct and measurable advantage of their four years
at F&M. Our commitment to affordability ensures that the average F&M graduate leaves with
less debt than graduates from Pennsylvania’s largest major public universities, including
Penn State University, University of Pittsburgh, and Temple University. In fact, the
vast majority of F&M students receive financial aid that drastically reduces their
final tuition bill.
Our innovative Career Communities model created by F&M's Center for Career and Professional Development will help you
navigate this period of exploration and discovery, transforming your aspirations into
meaningful opportunities and valuable hands-on experiences. F&M provides the funding
you’ll need to accelerate your professional growth, including Summer Experience Awards
to support internships and research opportunities.
Financial Aid at F&M
We’re dedicated to making an F&M education affordable for all. By offering need-based and merit-based financial aid, we’re able to welcome talented students from all backgrounds.
The F&M Commonwealth Commitment
The Commonwealth Commitment makes an F&M education accessible to talented, high-achieving students from our home state of Pennsylvania, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
Success Beyond F&M
Within six months after graduating, 92% of the Class of 2025 were working or pursuing further studies. This is higher than the national average, which is typically in the mid-80% range. Explore our first destination reports to dive deeper into post-graduate data and outcomes.
