I went to Franklin seeking a second degree after graduating from Ohio State University. I was impressed by the school's dedicated focus on its students from the very first day. The material covered in class was challenging, but certainly worth the effort as it proved to be right in step with the market. The environment was very professional, the professors were very interactive, and every aspect of Franklin felt as if it was geared towards helping me reach my goals. I really enjoyed it, and cant say enough about it.

Franklin University's main campus is in downtown Columbus (in a good, safe setting), however they also have several satellite campuses around the county, making it quite easy to take classes if you live within 50 miles of Columbus. Their online learning curriculum is both advanced and simple to follow, with an expansive number of majors to choose from and assignments that are usually real-world related. They have students in their online courses from every state and dozens of countries around the world. The costs are reasonable and the majority of the professors on staff have a lot of experience and tenure, and most truly care enough to help you through the class. Franklin takes a lot of pride in their people, their offerings, and how they interact with the community around them. Highly recommended. The score given (41.5) seems awfully low. While obviously not "ivy-league", they're a great, above-average community college with a great reputation for building solid lives and careers.

Even though the tuition is slightly higher than some surrounding universities, Franklin's online program offers better choices and more flexibility. I am enjoying my time at Franklin and would recommend it to anyone seeking a business degree.
