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
