Live to the Truth

Since 1839, the Framingham State University community has embodied the motto “live to the truth”—a phrase Cyrus Peirce used to close each of his lessons at what was then known as The Normal School. Today, we live to the truth by upholding the University’s mission of providing an affordable, high-quality education to all qualified students and maintaining a commitment to student involvement, engagement, and academic excellence. Framingham State sits on a 78-acre traditional New England campus. Our campus strikes a balance between historic, picturesque buildings and modern facilities like our state-of-the-art science labs and residence halls. 

While we’re proud of our roots as a teachers’ college, we’ve grown far beyond them. Framingham State is a world-class university. Our students and alumni make waves in the fashion industry, design nutrition plans for professional athletes, write for major media and news organizations, work for Fortune 500 companies right here in Framingham, and more. We offer affordability, high quality, and convenience. Advance your career with our flexible full-time, part-time, and online graduate programs that focus on practical application of skills learned in physical or virtual classrooms. Learn from experts in their fields in an environment ripe with networking opportunities. 

The University is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), the regional accreditation agency for colleges and universities in New England. Accreditation by NECHE indicates that a school meets or exceeds the criteria when assessed for institutional quality, periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one that has the necessary resources available to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it’ll continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
