Summary
Franklin
University, a leader in adult education for more than
100 years, offers online bachelor’s degree completion
programs in 16 popular majors, through it’s Community
College Alliance (CCA), in partnership with community and
technical colleges across the U.S. This program provides
opportunities for two-year colleges to expand the educational
options available to their students, alumni and local community,
while remaining involved in their education through the
completion of the bachelor’s degree. CCA is designed
to be an ongoing partnership between the two-year institution
and Franklin University to provide quality academic programs
and support services, locally and virtually, to ensure students
success.
Franklin
University’s Master of Business Administration program
is also available online, in an accelerated, 17 month format
and features four distinct areas of specialization.
