Hey guys, I've been looking into online degree programs and Franklin University has caught my eye. I want to make sure it's legit and accredited before applying. Can anyone confirm their accreditation status? Thanks in advance!
Hi! I can confirm that Franklin University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which is a regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This means that the university has met the established standards for its educational programs and student services, and it is considered legitimate.
In addition to regional accreditation, some of the university's individual programs also have specialized accreditations. For example, its Business programs are accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE), and the Nursing programs have accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
Before applying, make sure to do some research to ensure that the specific program you're interested in is accredited and aligned with your career goals. Good luck!
