approach at Franklin allowed me to maintain a 3.8 GPA. While in classes, I also landed an internship with an impressive international corporation. With that experience, I became very optimistic about my future career opportunities. I wasn't always so enthralled with higher education. Like many Franklin students, I started my college education at another, very large, well-known university, planning to earn my bachelor's degree there. While I had a great social experience, I was not successful with my studies. I didn't get the guidance and explanations from the professors that I needed to understand the coursework. In fact, I felt like a social security number, not an individual. So I transferred to a community college to work on an associate's degree instead– and did very well in the small class sizes. I developed personal relationships with the instructors, and had such a positive experience, that I knew I wanted to pursue my bachelor's degree in a similar setting. My best friend had just completed her degree at Franklin University, and strongly encouraged me to look into it, because she had a great experience there from start to finish. I took my friend's advice and made an appointment with a Student Services Associate (SSA). My SSA reviewed my transcripts and showed me options for degree completion in such a realistic and complete manner, I knew from that initial conversation that Franklin was a good fit for me. I finally could see myself finishing my bachelor's degree because I had a mapped-out plan for achieving it. The classes at Franklin, both face-to-face and online, were great. I enjoyed both styles of learning, and especially like the six-week classes – it's amazing how fast I was able to get through! I really liked having everything online. I developed my visual style of communication online through class chat sessions and bulletin board postings, while the face-to-face classes reinforced my auditory style. Overall, I found that Franklin has a genuine concern for its students– I felt it every time I was on campus. People were smiling and happy. Franklin will help you define your career path – from experimenting with initial classes to choosing a degree program – and then give you the tools to succeed. All you have to do is decide to commit to your education. You can earn more than just a degree at Franklin: you can earn self satisfaction and develop professional skills that will help you throughout your whole life. |
