Forward, Together.
Your Journey Starts Here
Franklin & Marshall College is renowned for its high academic standards, culture of creativity and innovation, and extraordinary opportunities for students to be the curators of their own academic experiences. We are a collaborative community — and together, we create the way forward.
Join us on Saturday, May 11 at 10 a.m. for the Class of 2024 Commencement ceremony.
Get more details about the event, including tickets, seating, parking, and more. The cornerstone of the educational experience we offer is students working side-by-side
with faculty who want to help them test ideas — not just talk or read about them.
These are not experiences you have to wait until graduate school to pursue. It's a
core part of what we do. Our focus on global education recognizes that, no matter where life takes you after
F&M, you will work and live with people with vastly different ways of perceiving our
world. A global education helps you begin to understand how to negotiate these differences,
strengthening your abilities to successfully live and work in our increasingly global
society. We’re a partner in your success on Day 1. Explore how we engage with students across
all four class years — and discover how that commitment helps you land jobs in leading
industries and gain admission to high-demand graduate and professional programs around
the world.Class of 2024 Commencement
