Columbus State Community College and Franklin University

Committed to Serving Students Together

Welcome to Franklin University! Franklin University serves more than 11,000 students annually - 2,000 of which hold previous credit from CSCC. On March 2, 2009 Columbus State Community College and Franklin University signed a revitalized 3+1 agreement to extend and expand our successful partnership.
Franklin University encourages CSCC students to complete the first three years of their bachelor degree at CSCC - to then complete their 4th year at Franklin, providing students the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degree for approximately $21,000. With 21 undergraduate majors to choose from, students can take classes at one of 4 central Ohio locations or entirely online.
Download our Transfer Guides or request a free preliminary evaluation to help you to determine how your prior coursework will transfer into Franklin University and what you'll have to do to complete a bachelor's degree at Franklin.
