Today s education is all about convenience. Students are in the driver s seat, setting the pace for how, where, and when they want classes and programs delivered. When all classes are complete, the student is awarded a Bachelor of Science degree from Franklin University. Program participants have access to online courses especially developed to deliver critical skills in a convenient format. Roughly 90 percent of the online courses are asynchronous in nature, meaning the student logs on whenever and wherever is most convenient weekends, at work during a lunch break, or at night after the kids have gone to sleep.
Coursework utilizes e-mail and Internet applications to deliver materials.
Assignments include Internet research, online testing, activities utilizing chatrooms and newsgroups, and accessing virtual libraries for project support. Online learning eliminates geographic boundaries. Likewise, classroom peers are located throughout the regions serviced by Franklin s program. Students enrolled in the Community College Alliance receive dual support from Jefferson and Franklin University through library and computer resources, advising and transcript evaluation, financial aid opportunities, technical support, and more. Online learning isn t for everyone.
