WE ARE THE ULTRA-CURRICULAR

THIS IS THE FURMAN ADVANTAGE.

The Furman Advantage guarantees every student an unparalleled education that combines classroom learning with real-world experiences and self-discovery. This integrated four-year pathway, guided by a diverse community of mentors, prepares students for lives of purpose and accelerated career and community impact—demonstrating in concrete terms the value of a Furman education.

THE FURMAN ADVANTAGE

CLASSROOM LEARNINGPremier academic programs and teaching are our foundation. In small class sizes, students are taught by renowned faculty, not their assistants.

ENGAGED LEARNING EXPERIENCESStudents connect work to meaningful experiences, such as research, internships and study away and community engaged learning projects.

MENTORING AND ADVISINGFor all four years, students have access to a community of advisors and mentors who will answer and ask questions, and help guide them along their path.

INTENTIONAL REFLECTION Students are encouraged to develop habits of reflection so that they are able to make informed decisions, tell their story, and graduate confident and prepared for life beyond college.

STUDENTS GRADUATE READY TO PURSUE MEANINGFUL LIVES AND CAREERS.

FULFILLING OUR PROMISE These aren’t empty promises. Along the way, we carefully track and meticulously assess student, academic and advising successes. Furman has partnered with Gallup to study the impact of our undergraduate experience and measure the effectiveness of our signature approach to education, thanks to a $2.5 million grant from The Duke Endowment.

The Furman Advantage is supported by $50 million in grants from The Duke Endowment.

CONNECT & ENGAGEWhen students feel connected during their four years, we know they will continue to thrive after graduation. Our unique living and engagement opportunities connect students with campus and the greater community.

If graduates strongly agree that they were “emotionally supported”

during college, the odds that they are engaged in their work and thriving in

their overall well-being double.–GALLUP
