Description

A four-year liberal arts school, Franklin College offers personalized, collaborative, and service-oriented learning for undergraduates.

Located in Franklin, Indiana, Franklin College offers its approximately 1,000 students over 30 majors to choose from. These include Art, Business, Economics, Education, History, Psychology, Political Science, Religious Studies and Theatre Arts.

One of the features of a Franklin College education is collaborative, personalized learning. This takes place in classroom discussions and is fostered by the small classes that are common at Franklin.

Also crucial to the Franklin learning experience is service. It is common for students to engage in community service activities by volunteering at such local charities and non-profits as Habitat for Humanity.

Franklin also gives its students the option to engage in internships, by working at local businesses and thereby having the opportunity to, as they say, “test drive” a career.

A Baptist college, Franklin does not require attendance at any religious events or services but does offer students the option to participate in campus religious organizations and on-campus services.

With over 60 on-campus organizations, students may also choose from Greek life opportunities, student government and service, academic, arts and recreational clubs.

Since it is a residential college, many students may become immersed in the Franklin lifestyle by living in one of the Franklin dorms.

Students who require financial aid may discuss possible aid sources like grants and scholarships with a financial aid counselor.
