Additional Co-Locations Increase Access to Education
Franklin’s co-location total now stands at 12, due to new agreements at Butler County Community College (Butler, Pa.), Eastern Gateway Community College (Steubenville, Ohio), Lakeshore Technical College (Cleveland, Wisc.), Rhodes State College (Lima, Ohio), Sinclair Community College (Dayton, Ohio) and Southwest Wisconsin Technical College (Fennimore, Wisc.). The agreements create an additional pathway for students to complete their bachelor’s degrees, as well as expand access to higher education to a broader community of learners.
Co-locations are Franklin University locations on the campuses of partner community and technical colleges, enabling current community college students and alumni to earn bachelor’s degrees onsite at the college. The locations offer courses specific to pre-determined degree programs, however students in all majors are able to take advantage of the onsite courses. Majors offered are selected in partnership with the community or technical college based on alignment with its course offerings and demand within the geographic area.
Entrepreneurship, Social Sciences Added to Undergraduate Offerings
Two new bachelor of science majors, Entrepreneurship and Social Sciences, were recently added to the University’s academic offerings and are currently available to students. Both majors can be completed 100 percent online.
Designed specifically for transfer students, Entrepreneurship is a degree-completion program that allows students to transfer 24 hours of technical credit from certifications, licensures, on- the-job training and previously earned college credit in more than 130 different disciplines.
Through relevant curriculum, students develop competencies and skills that are necessary for the effective creation, development, and growth of small to large-scale businesses, including idea generation, opportunity recognition, resource acquisition, and methods for generating capital and funding. Students acquire skills in key day-to-day business areas, like commercialization and marketing, management and operations, leadership and business strategy, and accounting and finance.
In Franklin’s transfer-friendly Social Sciences major, students can transfer up to two-thirds of the degree requirements, including previous coursework in anthropology, archaeology, criminal justice, criminology, cultural resource management, decision science, economics, geography, history, international relations, political science, psychology or sociology.
Social Sciences students have the opportunity to explore relevant research methods and analysis techniques in pursuit of cause-and-effect relationships within society. Students focus on applying the scientific method to human behavior in order to improve society – from individuals, to small groups, at cultural and societal levels, cross-culturally and even looking at the entire world population.
A unique benefit of this program is that students aren’t tied to one specific social science discipline. Instead, the curriculum is designed to allow students to choose courses from a variety of social science areas, including anthropology, applied psychology, business economics, criminal justice administration, or sociology.
