Franklin Pierce College admits students with varying levels of past achievement, and, by requiring them to become actively engaged in their own learning, encourages habits of thought and conduct which promote a lifetime of intellectual and personal growth. 

The main campus in Rindge serves persons who wish to pursue baccalaureate education in a full-time residential setting.  In addition, the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies serves those throughout New Hampshire, who seek professional advancement and improvement in the quality of their lives through undergraduate and graduate studies.  In all locations, study within one of the disciplines prepares a student for further formal education or for direct entry into a career field.  Co-curricular programs, designed to respond to the social, moral, and physical dimensions of development, complement and support the academic programs.
