Fitchburg State offers undergraduate and graduate programs with an emphasis on career-orientated learning that is firmly grounded in the liberal arts, as well as selected majors in the traditional arts and sciences.
U.S. News and World Report ranks it in the third tier of regional colleges and universities in the northern United States.
The college features small class sizes, hands-on professional education, and an accessible faculty dedicated to teaching. A compact campus in North Central Massachusetts provides the added bonus of a secure community where social and cultural activities abound and students assume a wide range of leadership roles in the community, student government and social and artistic affairs.
An emphasis on faculty mentoring and internships has resulted in an extremely high success rate in placing students in careers or graduate school. The college supports both traditional and non-traditional students. Full time and part time enrollment opportunities exist during the day and the evening, and at the graduate and undergraduate level. The undergraduate day population is comprised of both commuter and residential students representing the entire state of Massachusetts and all of New England. The graduate and continuing
education population includes the whole spectrum of learners—from people desiring to expand their career opportunities by pursuing graduate or undergraduate certificates and degrees, to a typical college student
home for the summer taking a course or two to get ahead.
The Graduate and Continuing Education Office offers diverse perspectives for part time and full time advanced study in a variety of professional and academic fields.
