A fixture of Downtown Columbus since 1902, Franklin University is a unique institution specializing in serving the needs of adult learners. Students have access to a wealth of academic resources as they pursue associate, bachelor, master’s, and even doctoral degrees.
The main campus enjoys a terrific location in the heart of Ohio’s capital city. The Scioto Riverfront and the Brewery District are just a few blocks away, putting you a short walk from some of the Midwest’s best dining, shopping, and nightlife offerings. The Ohio Statehouse, Columbus Museum of Art, Greater Columbus Convention Center, and a host of smaller theaters, concert halls, galleries, and historic landmarks are all around the Franklin campus, with apartments and condos mixed in and large residential neighborhoods very close by. Rental rates in this area vary considerably, but it is not uncommon to find very budget-friendly living arrangements within walking distance of the campus and its surrounding attractions.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
