Franklin College Fast Facts

FRANKLIN COLLEGE

www.FranklinCollege.edu

Founded in 1834, Franklin College is a residential,

four-year liberal arts institution located 25 miles

south of Indianapolis, Indiana.

We believe in the beauty of a rigorous liberal arts

education — an interdisciplinary approach in which

creative writers spend time in chemistry labs and

business majors have roles in theatre productions.

This belief stems from a passion to prepare our

students for a career — and for the world.

Franklin is a place where students have a unique

opportunity to grow and where leaders are born.
