Franklin University is proud to announce its ranking as the number one online school in Ohio, as ranked by TheBestSchools.org, furthering the University’s reputation as an innovator and expert in online learning.

Earning a number one online ranking puts the University at the top of an industry that has experienced enormous growth over the last decade.

Franklin University understands it is this same growth that now provides today’s working professionals with an overwhelming number of online schools to choose from, so finding a credible school, with a long-standing history, known and trusted by employers is of paramount importance.

It is Franklin’s understanding of the needs of today’s professional students and appreciation for the myriad of factors it takes to juggle career, family and an education that has caused the University to place technology as a key foundation in providing access to students seeking an adult-focused education.

Through Franklin’s International Institute for Innovative Instruction, the University leverages its inventive technology to implement its model of comprehensive and leading-edge curriculum development, created by doctorally prepared instructional designers, multimedia experts and teaching effectiveness experts. This course design to technology integration and learning assessment combines to create the ideal learning environment for student success.
