Student success is central to the mission of the University. Comprehensive academic support and advising services help students make the transition to the first-year and stay on track to degree completion. The University also features a robust honors program for exceptional students. At the advanced level, Framingham State University graduates approximately 500 masters students each year in 25 graduate programs, including an MBA program that can be completed on a full or part-time basis. Framingham State was a pioneer in undergraduate and graduate online education, having offered online courses since 1998.
