Franklin University Information Offered


By JJ Ossola
IV Leader Staff


    Information about Franklin University and IVCC’s participation in the Community College Alliance partnership was presented to students on Monday, February 7 in C-316 by Franklin University’s regional director Bob Morris and IVCC’s on-site coordinator Bob Reese.
    Reese said, “The seminar went very well. Potential students were able to get 1 on 1 help with specific, individual questions.”
    Morris visited seven classes in addition to presenting the two seminars, “I received questions about transfer credit, and financial aid and scholarships.” Morris said that one of best reasons for students to look into Franklin was “a quality education in a convenient format.”
    Morris said that the CCA allowed IVCC student to take another year’s worth of classes called “bridge classes” and then finished their degree on-line with Franklin instructors, either at home or at the IVCC campus.
    Reese said, “This flexibility allows the student to complete their Franklin degree in a convenient, familiar environment.”
    There are 21 students at IVCC that have completed their “bridge classes” and are currently taking courses “at” Franklin. Seventeen IVCC graduates earned their bachelors degree through this program.
    For more information on Franklin University, students are encouraged to contact Bob Reese at 224-0354 or via e-mail: bob_reese@ivcc.edu.
