Franklin & Marshall College (F&M) is a private liberal arts college in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1853 on the merger of Franklin College and Marshall College, F&M is named for Benjamin Franklin, who gave the college its first endowment,[1] and founding father and supreme court judge John Marshall.

Franklin & Marshall was the first coeducational college in America, serving both men and women[2] in an experimental curriculum. Among its first students was Richea Gratz, the first Jewish female college student in the United States.[2]

The college offers various majors and minors across 62 fields of study, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and other disciplines.
