Franklin Reunites with the Y.M.C.A. Franklins partnership with the Y.M.C.A. has come full circle. The Universitys very first class was held in a downtown Columbus Y.M.C.A. classroom. Today students will take courses at a new location in Gahanna Ohio. The site located at 380 Granville St. within the Clark Hall building is co-occupied by the Y.M.C.A. More than 110 years ago the Y.M.C.A. School of Commerce helped launch Franklin University with the goal to make education success and a piece of the American Dream possible for everyone. Franklin has continued this mission and expanded the opportunity to students across the country and throughout the world. The new Gahanna location officially opened to students in January 2016. The site gives Franklin University ample space to welcome new students as well as those from the Westerville location which was closed as the Gahanna location was launched. In keeping with Franklins student-focus academic advisors are available onsite every Monday through Thursday. Local Synergies Lead to EXACTTrack Students have access to a new innovative program thanks to the long-standing partnership between Franklin University and Columbus State Community College. The two institutions joined to introduce the EXACTTrack business cohort program which enables Columbus State graduates to complete a bachelors degree in less than four years. EXACTTrack gives students free books seamless admission financial aid and a set tuition rate. Students save time and money by taking Columbus State courses that easily transfer toward a Franklin degree. Those who earn an A.A.S. in Business Management can complete a B.S. in Business Administration from Franklin by taking only four additional terms of 6 and 8-week courses. The program simplifies class scheduling by outlining pre- determined courses. Students take one evening class per week at the Columbus State Delaware Campus and online. Cohorts move through the program together relying on team building and interaction that mirrors real-world experiences. EXACTTrack is similar to an existing agreement with Columbus State Community College the 31 format which also provides a cost-savings for students completing a degree at Franklin. Unlike EXACTTrack that offers pre-determined courses students using the 31 format have flexible scheduling options. EXACTTrack and 31 students now enjoy an added layer of convenience Franklin University recently moved its Delaware location to Columbus States Delaware campus.
