Framingham State University provides opportunities to empower first-year students to grow and mature emotionally and intellectually. To help them begin this process, students will be exposed to a comprehensive support program of personnel and resources that encourages both personal development and responsibility. We also encourage students to participate in co-curricular activities that enhance a sense of community and provide transferable skills in and out of the classroom. The University supports students by providing an educational experience which focuses on teaching students to become actively engaged learners through establishing relationships that foster academic success.
