Franklin College offers students an intimate educational experience — classes contain an average of just 17 students. Students’ academic experience is further enhanced by the college’s winter term, which is a month-long opportunity for students to take non-traditional classes, participate in internships or travel abroad. Because the Franklin College faculty and staff pay special attention to the needs of underrepresented students, there are a number of resources targeted to these students. Additionally, the Student Association in Support of Multiculturalism (SASSOM) has been a sustained resource for the Franklin College community for more than 20 years.
