Rockland Community College announces its newest partnership with Ohio’s number one nonprofit university for online degrees, Franklin University, highlighting our shared commitment to making college more accessible and affordable. Through today’s announcement, students at Rockland Community College now have the additional opportunity to build on their achievements, by maximizing their associate degree credit toward earning a bachelor’s degree, while staying in their own community.
“RCC students who take advantage of our 3+1 Partnership with Franklin University can conveniently continue to take courses that count toward the third year of their bachelor’s degree, while remaining right here on our campus, paying our tuition rates,” remarked RCC Associate Provost, Dr. Robert Schultz. “There’s no doubt about it—the RCC-Franklin 3+1 Partnership is designed to help students achieve advanced degrees and success in their career of choice.”
For more than 115 years, Franklin University has built a reputation as a pioneer in educating adult learners, and removing barriers to higher education for ambitious adults. Through Franklin’s Community College Alliance (CCA), students can build upon the credits they earn at Rockland Community College by transferring credit seamlessly to Franklin. This convenient 3+1 program saves students time and money and allowing students to do as much of the third year of their bachelor’s degree right here at Rockland Community College – paying our tuition rate instead of Franklin’s tuition rate.
“A college degree has become a necessity for individual economic opportunity and America’s competitiveness in the global economy,” shared Dr. David Decker, President, Franklin University. “Through our Community College Alliance, we can extend access to our recent 24% reduction in undergraduate tuition and tuition guarantee, and generous transfer policy, to bring a degree within reach to meet our students’ needs.”
