- Mission
- Framingham State College offers small, personalized classes to 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students on a traditional, New England campus. Student success is central to the mission of the College. Many options are available for student support, including programs to help freshmen transition to college. The College also has a robust honors program for exceptional students. The breadth of programs offered by Framingham State College reflects diverse faculty expertise. Although the College's traditional focus was teacher education, the majority of students today major in fields ranging from business to the sciences to fashion design and retailing, along with a significant number who continue to major in education. The College confers the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Science in Education degrees. The College offers twenty-five majors and many career-related concentrations. Undergraduate majors are offered in art history, biology, business administration, business and information technology, chemistry, communication arts, computer science, early childhood education, economics, elementary education, English, fashion design and retailing, food and nutrition, food science, geography, health and consumer sciences, history, liberal studies, mathematics, modern languages, nursing (post-RN program), politics, psychology, sociology, and studio art. Within the twenty-five major programs are a variety of concentrations and minors. Pre-engineering, pre-law, and pre-medical professional programs are also offered. In addition to its undergraduate program, Framingham State College graduates approximately 500 master's students each year. In 2007, the College added an MBA program to its graduate program mix. In addition, the College is a pioneer in undergraduate and graduate online education, having offered online courses since 1998. Traditional college-age students as well as non-traditional students seeking higher education on either a full- or part-time basis have opportunities to participate in campus life through a variety of co-curricular programs and activities, and to develop the knowledge and skills needed to compete in a global and technological society. The College is located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' MetroWest area just 20 miles west of Boston. It is the only public four-year college between Route 495 and Route 128, close to the heart of the high-technology industry and within reach of hundreds of professional companies and businesses. The 73-acre campus offers students a small- to medium-sized suburban campus with access to the cultural, recreational, educational, and career opportunities of Boston and New England.
