Franklin University and Edison State Announce New Co-Location
On June 12, Franklin University, a leader in adult education, and
Edison State Community College hosted a signing event on Franklin’s
main campus in downtown Columbus, officially launching a new
co-location agreement between the two institutions. Today's
announcement expands the relationship between the two institutions,
which have held a transfer articulation agreement since 1998.
Through the new co-location agreement, students will have the
opportunity to pursue a healthcare degree beginning at Edison State for
the first three years, and finish their fourth year by taking
Franklin’s courses onsite at Edison State’s Troy location or through
Franklin’s online offerings.
During the ceremony Dr. David Decker, President of Franklin University
and Dr. Doreen Larson, President of Edison State Community College
thanked the team of staff and board members who helped bring the new
agreement to fruition.
“This expansion of our relationship with Edison State Community College
is another example of our efforts to remove barriers to higher
education, with our respected partner,” shared Dr. Decker. “Franklin
University is proud to partner with more than 230 community and
technical colleges across the country to provide pathways that help
thousands of students earn their associate and bachelor’s degrees
without leaving their hometown communities.”
Dr. Doreen Larson shared, “this cooperative agreement between Edison
State and Franklin University works to the benefit of students by
providing high quality, convenient options and maximizes the resources
of both institutions. I am grateful for the hard work of the academic
leaders from both Edison State and Franklin.”
Classes will begin on Aug. 26, 2019. For information on August classes,
