Franklin University Mission and Philosophy

Mission Statement

Franklin University is a student-centered, independent institution of lifelong higher education, working in partnership with central Ohio's business and professional community in a global context. The University provides undergraduate and graduate students, who often
work full or part time, both the breadth of knowledge and the career-focused applications required of a balanced education.

Philosophy

Since 1902, Franklin University has been a pioneer in meeting the needs of adult students who have the ambition to continue their education in combination with other responsibilities.

As a learner-centered institution of higher education, the four cornerstones of the educational philosophy are:

• Ensuring academic quality
• Providing access to the needs of students
• Adapting to the needs of students
• Responding to changes in society, professions, and the business community
