- The Franklin & Marshall curriculum combines a spirit of innovation with a strong sense of tradition.
It encompasses elements that prepare students for the cross-disciplinary nature of knowledge in the twenty-first century
while preserving the depth offered by disciplinary majors and the breadth associated with distributional requirements. The
graduation requirements provide sufficient structure to ensure that students receive a general education in the liberal arts
while offering enough choice to allow the construction of an individualized educational experience. Students construct their
education by selecting courses in each of the four parts that compose the Franklin & Marshall curriculum: General Education,
the Major, Explorations, and Electives.
- As a small, private liberal arts college, Franklin & Marshall focuses extraordinarily on the
individual. Ours is a campus that relies upon personal attention and interaction between the faculty, administrators, and
student body. Each student adds something to our community that no other person can. And each student is asked to find and
communicate his or her individual voice to the other members of our campus community.
- The College has 51 buildings, totaling 1.35 million square feet on 170 acres. Six on-campus residence
halls and five alternative housing units provide 1,280 beds for full-time students. A professional staff of four and
approximately 50 student resident assistants provide leadership in the residence halls. Sixteen buildings house academic
departments of the College. College Square is a 40,000-square-foot commercial and retail facility.
- Franklin & Marshall College offers students an extraordinary place in which to spend four important
years. The campus—traditional buildings spanning more than 135 years of architecture—is an arboretum in a peaceful,
residential neighborhood of row houses and tree-lined sidewalks. The historic and vital city surrounding campus—Lancaster,
Pennsylvania—has a distinctive charm while offering the amenities of big-city living.
