Franklin College

Founded in 1834, Franklin College is a residential, liberal arts institution just 20 minutes south of downtown Indianapolis. With a scenic, wooded campus, spanning 207 acres, including athletic fields and a 31-acre biology woodland, students enjoy the comfort and safety of suburban living, while also experiencing the many opportunities Indianapolis has to offer. The college prepares students to think independently, to lead responsibly and to serve with integrity in their professions, their communities and the world. The college offers its approximately 1,000 students Bachelor of Arts degrees in 51 majors from 25 academic disciplines, 42 minors, 11 pre-professional programs and five cooperative programs. In 1842, the college began admitting women, becoming the first coeducational institution in Indiana and the seventh in the nation. Franklin College maintains a voluntary association with the American Baptist Churches USA.
