When it comes to choosing a college or university, accreditation is important. Accredited institutions are held to a higher academic standard by state and/or regional governing bodies to ensure that the degree you earn is of the utmost quality.


And while many graduate programs take at least two years to complete, Franklin’s accelerated master’s program only takes 16 months. This means you will learn more of what you need to know in less time than at most other schools.
