After Graduation

We know.
A huge factor in determining where you'll go to college is where that experience and degree will take you later in life. Though we don't like to brag, we are simply among the finest liberal arts colleges in America. An F&M degree commands respect from businesses, companies, corporations, and organizations around the world, as well as the country's elite graduate programs.

It's in the numbers.
In terms of graduate outcomes and placement, the numbers are staggering. There's really no other way to put it. F&M graduates are doing incredible things in the world. They're in boardrooms, operating rooms, and courtrooms. They're researchers, teachers, and politicians of the highest caliber. Consider this:

• F&M ranks in the top seven percent of nearly 1,300 colleges and universities (including all major research institutions) in the percentage of graduates who received doctorates between 1991 and 2000
• 92 percent of F&M students who applied to medical school were accepted to at least one of their selected schools; the national acceptance rate was 52 percent
• 90 percent of applying seniors are admitted to law school in a typical year
• F&M ranks 14^th out of 111 highly selective liberal arts colleges in the number of graduates who are executives and directors of major corporations

And, we've got connections.
As an elite liberal arts college, we are a member of the Selective Liberal Arts Consortium. The Consortium combines the recruiting efforts of 12 of America's finest liberal arts colleges (Bryn Mawr, Carleton, Davidson, Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, Grinnell, Haverford, Kenyon, Oberlin, Pomona, Vassar and Washington & Lee), and coordinates interview days with major companies, corporations, and organizations, as well as the nation's top graduate and professional schools. These interview days take place in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. It's where, quite literally, the best meet the best.
