四大基石

教育哲学

作为一个 认证, 非营利性机构 致力于帮助他人 工作的成年人 获得他们的 大学学位, we operate under a single-minded mission to make 上得起的大学 对每个人都. To ensure that we operate in the best interests of our students, we’re guided by a set of very specific principles we call 四大基石. Here’s where you can learn more about what the Cornerstones are and, 更重要的是, 它们是如何影响你和你的学习经历的.

确保学术质素

mg不朽情缘游戏网址 expands the term “academic quality” beyond its conventional definition to include elements specific to our nontraditional student body. 从学生的角度来看, quality largely equates to the experience they have in the classroom, 无论是在校园还是在网上.

Franklin’s decisions and resource allocations reflect a commitment to developing high-quality curricula and instruction in professional fields of study. 作为教育者, we are responsible for ensuring an excellent learning experience by providing the planning, 资源, and assessment that culminate in courses that contribute to the achievement of program outcomes in support of students’ overall educational and professional goals.

提供受教育的机会

响应学生和社会的需求, Franklin makes it possible for individuals with a wide variety of prior academic experiences, 工作和生活的环境, and/or financial constraints to reach their education goals. 

课程形式, 招生政策, and support 服务 enhance educational opportunity and include multiple physical locations, 在线学习, 灵活的调度, 最大化大学学分的转移, 负担得起学费, 滚动录取, 以及班级安排.

适应学生的需要

mg不朽情缘游戏网址 students are diverse in many respects, including work and life experience. Working adults can find a traditional full-time academic schedule to be restrictive, and therefore their needs are different from those of a traditional student.

Because many of the students at Franklin work full time, the institution demonstrates its ability to respond and adapt to real-world needs by making the attainment of bachelor’s and master’s degrees possible for anyone so motivated.

Franklin promotes student success through a variety of formats, 学术资源, and student support 服务 – all designed around the needs of the busy, 工作的成年人.  Keeping the needs of students at the forefront of Franklin’s operations is reflected in the following strategic objectives:

  • Make educational opportunities widely accessible through flexible delivery systems and schedules
  • Provide educational programs that will increase students’ employment or promotion potential
  • 提供本科和研究生学位课程, 通识教育, 服务, and activities to enhance the academic and personal development of students

Therefore, the University is committed to providing what the students need, when they need it. This includes receiving timely responses for admission decisions, 转移信用评估, 以及经济援助资格通知, as well as providing multiple options for where and how courses are delivered – in both face-to-face and online formats.

Responding to Changes in Society, Professions and the 业务 Community

Because it is part of mg不朽情缘游戏网址’s operating philosophy to anticipate and prepare for the future, the institution continuously engages with internal and external constituencies to gain insight into their educational needs and expectations, 现在和未来.

Franklin continually adapts its curricular offerings to meet the needs of current and future students, as well as those of their current and potential employers. 在过去十年中, the University has identified significant societal and economic trends such as:

  • A movement toward a knowledge economy focused on the production, 管理, 利用知识获取经济利益
  • A dramatic increase in the mobility of labor and capital in world markets
  • An ever-increasing reliance on technology and the resulting interconnection of the global market
  • 美国学生远离数学的趋势, 科学, 以及技术相关的职业, compromising the nation’s ability to compete on a global scale

因此, Franklin works to define and to respond to trends by providing students with an education that prepares them to accept the inevitability of change and develop the mindset and skills to adapt to those changes through their careers.
