Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Franklin has a great graduate program that advances your skills in whatever area of study you are in. Being an online student during my undergraduate and graduate studies, they have made pursuing a degree long distance easier and less of a hassle. Professors engage students in course material and are willing to work with you to advance your education.
Tips for prospective students If you're taking online class, make sure to prioritze your time according to be successful. Always respect your teammates on group assignments and contribute quality work and the classes will go more smoothly.
Academic Rigor I am in Franklin University's accelerated online Master's program for Marketing and Communications, so the academic rigor can be stressful at times. .
Dorm Life I am not living in a dorm.
Food and Dining I do not dine on campus.
What to do for fun I work full-time, attend school full-time, and hang out with family and friends when I can.

Categories Rating Comments Tips for prospective students You have to stay motivated when you are taking online classes. Sometimes it is hard to get motivated because you are not going to classes but you have to stay on top of things.
Great for these types of students I think this is great for people who are working as well as trying to go back to school. The way the schedule is it helps with being able to dedicate time to the class on the days you need or have the time.

Hanna from Superior, WI
Reviewer is A past student here.
Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot The professors did a great job teaching the material and adapting the curriculum to reflect upcoming changes to the various career fields (e.g., health care reform laws and their impact on management in healthcare).
Did enjoy being here I didn't get to attend campus, but the distance education was excellent and the platform and technology options were well done.
Bang for the buck Probably the cheapest tuition rates for what you get compared to other colleges/universities.
Tips for prospective students Plan your courses for your entire college experience before you begin classes. Some classes are not offered every semester.
Great for these types of students Perfect for working individuals and people in the military. Also excellent for those needing flexible class schedules (distance education was great).

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences i am an online franklin student, and i love it. i love the support - i have an academic adviser, a student adviser and a peer adviser. i feel like i have all the tools i need to be successful and supported.
Tips for prospective students make sure than online courses are really right for you, before you decide to become an online student. there aren't always lectures available, sometimes you really have to read it, process it, and do the work alone without guidance. other than that, franklin will work really hard to get you through the process.
Academic Rigor my psychology classes are hard, and i like that! i feel like i learn the concepts more completely because the assignments are challenging. and as an online student, i really need to be putting concepts to the test, so that i can walk away with real, day-to-day information.
What to do for fun well, it's in columbus ohio, and it's a little limited here. but there are night clubs, especially in german village and the downtown area, that are a blast. the columbus blue jackets are really fun games to go to, and who doesn't love the osu buckeyes?? there are gallery hops in the short north, and there are all kinds of events to attend in worthington, further north.
Bang for the buck i feel like i would like the online classes to offer more lectures. they have the franklinlive tool that is built for it, but i've found it lacking in the classes, and i think it's important to have a lot of professor interaction. but as far as how much am i learning?? it's awesome. i couldn't ask for more...especially because the support team is so wonderful, and the online tools are amazing.
Great for these types of students adults, people with full time jobs and kids; traditional students who attended online high school, or who are taking care of parents.

Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot One of the better colleges I have attended. The faculty and staff are extremely helpful, especially if you are taking classes online.
Did enjoy being here Unfortunately I was not able to attend on campus classes but the time I spent doing teleconferences with the instructors and other students in my classes was extremely enjoyable and very informative.
Bang for the buck A little expensive but well worth the money.
