BE YOUR BEST SELF AT

DON’T JUST BE A NUMBER,

BE A NAME.At Franklin College, you’re exactly that.

Here an average class size of 15 means roll call is a one-time occurrence.

It means you wear a number on your jersey, but are cheered on by name.

And that you can publish research, secure internships and travel the world for college credit,

ALL WHILE LEARNING THROUGH LEADERSHIP, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICE.

Since 1980, 85% of Franklin College students who applied to medical school were admitted.

At Franklin College, we believe in the beauty of a liberal arts education — an interdisciplinary

approach in which creative writers spend time in chemistry labs and business majors have roles

in theatre productions. This belief stems from a passion to prepare you for a career — and for

the world. So while you’re exploring your course of study, we’ll be giving you the tools you need

— and inspiring you to do the things you never thought you could.

DON’T JUST BE AN ATHLETE, BE A

So grab your books and your blue & gold — the field awaits.

75% of our students live in 7 distinct residential communities while seniors have the option of living off campus.

With a student body of just over 1,000, being a Franklin student and

community member go hand in hand, but what sets our students apart is how

they choose to give back.

Some students are active in service programs like Habitat for Humanity and

Best Buddies while others entertain and inform with their campus radio

shows and newspaper articles. Still, others are officers of Student Congress

and Greek organizations.

With more than 50 student organizations, we’re sure there’s something for

you. If not, we’ll help you start something new! That’s the kind of college this is.

JUST A FEW OF THE WAYS OUR STUDENTS GIVE BACK:

• Greek Life (five fraternities, three sororities)

• Drama Club

• Student Entertainment Board

• FC Athletic Training Club

• FC Religious Life

• Black Student Union

• Earth Club

• College Mentors for Kids

DON’T JUST BE A COMMUNITY MEMBER,BE A PHILANTHROPIST.

• Grizzly Pride Alliance

• FC Dancers

• Pre-Law Club

• Model UN

• FC Band

• Scrubs Club

• Intercultural Book Club

DON’T JUST BE A COMMUNITY MEMBER,

Franklin students can choose a month-long Winter Term course, a semester or year abroad or an international internship experience during the summer.

DON’T JUST BE A WORLD TRAVELER,

At Franklin College, students can learn just as much outside the classroom as

in. For this reason, we have a month-long Winter Term specifically devoted to

promoting a global perspective.

Some students develop this worldly point-of-view by literally traveling the world

(opportunities exist in 6 out of 7 continents to be exact!). Others do so by

completing internships or partnering with faculty members on research projects,

subsequently presenting their findings at state and national conferences.

With a whopping 100% of Franklin students participating in at least one internship

or research project and a large percentage studying away, it’s no wonder 95% of

our students are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation

—now that’s the way to make a name for yourself!

BE A REVOLUTIONARY.

“I truly believe Franklin has given me opportunities I wouldn’t have received anywhere else. All of my professors have been interested in my goals and willing to help me figure out how to achieve what I want.”

– Eric Thompson ’16

“During my visit I was worried if I could handle an intense major and play softball. Professor Remsburg was so knowledgeable about the athletic training program and her confidence in me was so reassuring that I left feeling excited that I could do both. At FC I feel like I have a whole other family to support me.”

– Bailey Lindamood ’17
