Franklin College, a private liberal arts institution located just south of Indianapolis, is best known for its hands-on "engaged learning" model and strong pre-professional programs in business, biology, journalism, and exercise science. The campus culture is defined by a tight-knit, welcoming community where students actively participate in NCAA Division III athletics, vibrant Greek life, and collaborative undergraduate research. What truly sets Franklin apart is its distinctive January "Immersive Term"—which guarantees students dedicated time for internships, study abroad, or intensive field research—helping drive an exceptional 99% post-graduation job and graduate school placement rate.
