Don’t let walls get in the way of your
education. At F&M, our students don't. We have a long-standing belief
in the importance of taking learning outside the classrooms and labs,
away from the written page, and out into the world. We'll challenge
you to ask bigger questions, to do something original, to push the boundaries
of what you know, and to continuously view the world from a variety
of perspectives.
Here's how it works. Our approach to learning at F&M is that we offer a graduate-type
education in an undergraduate setting. What that means, more than anything,
is access to opportunities that aren't commonly offered to undergraduate
students.
Opportunities to conduct important, meaningful research
Opportunities for daily, one-to-one access to professors
who are among the most accomplished in their fields
Opportunities to co-author articles for publication
in esteemed journals
Opportunities to present your findings at regional
and national conferences
Opportunities to study abroad, no matter what your
major, in places like Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America,
the Middle East, and New Zealand
Opportunities for paid internships—either
down the street, across the country, or around the world
Opportunities for important service learning projects
that have an immediate and direct impact on your community
Opportunities for independent study, tutorials,
directed readings, and hands-on learning experiences
And, last but not least. All of this occurs with individualized guidance from your professors.
Don't forget––out of 3,900 colleges and universities nationwide,
F&M was ranked #1 for faculty accessibility by
The Princeton Review.
Of course, the
only way to really experience F&M is to visit. But, since we’re
fairly certain you’re not here now, the next best thing is by taking
advantage of our virtual tour and visit planner. You’ve probably
seen these before, but ours is as cool as they come.
