Winter Term
Rather than beginning a full second-semester course load directly after the winter holiday break, Franklin students enroll in one Winter Term course that lasts only the month of January. Winter Term offers many exciting opportunities in which students can take part, including non-traditional classes, internship experiences and a study abroad program. Click here for more information on Franklin College’s Winter Term.
Service Learning
As part of Franklin College’s curriculum, students will combine classroom theories and lessons with real-life experiences by taking part in service learning – providing a service to a community organization as part of an academic course.
Student Life
Whether you decide to join one of Franklin College’s eight Greek organizations, 16 intercollegiate sports, theatre productions, the staff of our very own radio station, or any of the other 60 social, educational and service activities outside of the classroom, you will find the student life at Franklin College rich and important to your growth in college.
