Franklin University

Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) and Franklin University have created a special agreement to help you earn a bachelor's degree. Work with a counselor at both institutions to earn your associate degree and then transfer seamlessly to complete your bachelor's degree. 

Degree Completion Transfer Pathways Agreement

This is a master legal articulation agreement for associate degree completion by which transfer pathways for bachelor's degree completion are jointly created and approved by both Tri-C and Franklin as they are developed. Corresponding transfer pathways will be valid for the duration of this agreement. The transfer pathways provide helpful semester-by-semester guides for students. However, students may transfer into any program offered at Franklin. Consultation with a Franklin representative is recommended.
