Community College Partnerships
Increase Opportunity With College Degree & Transfer Partnerships
Help your students reach their education potential by becoming a Franklin University community college partner. Together, we’ll engage your students in start-to-finish, stay-in-the-community degree programs that begin with associate degree credits at your institution, followed by bachelor’s degree credits at ours.
Our partnership is designed to improve your retention rates, graduation outcomes, tuition revenue, and more. Plus, your faculty and staff can take advantage of our free professional development opportunities, and exclusive tuition reduction program.
Partnership Solutions & Benefits
Community colleges are expected to produce five million graduates by 2020 -- many of whom would like to go on and earn their bachelor’s degrees. Franklin University, a leader in educating working adults, provides professionally relevant degree programs at an affordable cost. Together, community colleges and Franklin University can make educational dreams a reality.
Here’s how:
- As a community college partner, your students can build upon the credits they earn at your institution by transferring credit seamlessly to Franklin. This convenient 3+1 program not only saves students time and money, it also has the potential to increase your community college revenue because students take more of their college credits at your institution. Plus, students stay longer knowing they’re working on completing their bachelor’s degree.
- Every day, Franklin alumni put their degrees to work in some of the country’s most recognizable companies. Employers know that a Franklin education is a relevant one, with students and alumni immediately applying what they learn to the workplace and to communities in which they live and work.
- Enjoy more collaboration and involvement through Franklin’s CCA partnership. Several of our faculty serve on community college advisory boards, review community college curriculum to help in the pathway development process, and present to students in community college classes.
- Franklin’s free professional development opportunities, and exclusive tuition reduction program are a great benefit for community college faculty and staff that want to broaden their skillset or earn an advanced degree. Faculty and staff at partner community colleges are eligible for a 10-15% tuition discount on bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degree courses.
