FRANKLIN COLLEGE www.FranklinCollege.edu
Founded in 1834, Franklin College is a residential, four-year liberal arts institution located 25 miles south of Indianapolis, Indiana.
We believe in the beauty of a rigorous 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 our students for a career — and for the world.
Franklin is a place where students have a unique opportunity to grow and where leaders are born.
