To our partners in the guidance community we know this is a particularly busy time for guidance offices and we appreciate your time and energy. Here are some very important updates about the University that we hope will help you in your work with prospective college students at your school.
The largest major at Framingham State continues to be business administration (16% of all students), followed by consumer sciences (13%), and the coordinate majors in Early Childhood and Elementary Education (12%). The University offers 17 additional majors in the professional and liberal arts and science areas. Some of our newest majors include Environmental Science and Criminology.
A survey conducted in spring 2008 of recent graduates from the 2005-2006 academic year indicated a 96% employment rate; 39% of respondents had participated in an internship experience prior to graduation.
In September 2011, the University opened a new 410-bed residence hall that features suite-style living and semi-private baths, representing a housing option very popular among today’s college students.
Framingham State has initiated a required first-year student seminar program that helps first-year students make a successful transition to college life inside and outside of the classroom.
