Franklin College runs on a 4-1-4 academic calendar. What does this mean? It means that there are four months in our Fall semester, four months in our Spring semester but those two semesters are broken up by a one-month Winter Term that takes place in January.

Winter Term

A unique feature to Franklin College's academic calendar is our Winter Term program. Rather than beginning a full second-semester course load directly after the holiday break, Franklin students enroll in one Winter Term course that lasts only the month of January.

Winter Term offers other exciting opportunities in which students take part, including non-traditional classes, a study away program and internship experiences. With 95% of our professional experience. Students can focus primarily on gaining work experience instead of having to juggle a full class load at the same time. Click here for more information on Franklin College's Winter Term.
