3+1 Program at Franklin
Three plus one means completing your B.A. at Franklin in three years and your M.S. or M.A. in the fourth year. This intensive schedule means declaring a major early and studying during the summer to accelerate the typical four-year B.A. timeline, giving focused students the benefit of beginning their career path a year earlier than their peers. Maintaining a GPA of 3.0 during those three years can mean accelerated admission and discounted tuition at Franklin or partner institutions such as Emerson College.
Students can choose among the following Master's Programs:
Master of Science in International Management with an Emphasis in Responsible Management and Climate Action - Read more
