What is CCA?

What is Franklin University’s Community College Alliance Program?

Franklin University's Community College Alliance (CCA) Program offers an online Bachelor of Science degree through an educational alliance with more than 250 community and technical colleges in the United States. The innovative Program provides opportunities for students at two-year colleges to complete their bachelor's degrees in a format that fits their career and lifestyle needs, without leaving their community.

How does the Program work for me?

START by earning your associate's degree (or 60 semester hours of transferable credit) from your community college. All of your associate's degree credits transfer toward your bachelor's degree at Franklin University.

NEXT Apply to Franklin University and receive your official evaluation. Then register for Franklin University's Learning Strategies course (PF 321).

FINISH your degree through a combination of bridge courses at your community college and online courses through Franklin University.
