Academics
Fitchburg State employs the Carnegie rule. This translates to the requirement that a student take at least 4 classes per semester to be considered a full-time student. In most cases, 5 classes per semester are required for a student to complete their major within 4 years.
The most competitive majors at Fitchburg State are Nursing, Communications Media (including Film and Video Production), Education, Business Administration, and Industrial Technology. The Industrial Technology department, along with the English department, have hosted the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region 1 festival from 2006 to 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
