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.
