Franklin University is a private, nonprofit institution. Founded in 1902, it primarily focuses on serving adult learners and offers flexible degree programs, including online and hybrid options. Unlike public universities funded by state governments, Franklin relies on tuition and private funding.
The university is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and operates multiple campuses, with its main location in Columbus, Ohio. Its private status allows it to tailor programs to working professionals, emphasizing practical, career-oriented education rather than state-subsidized offerings.
