Intellectual Growth



Franklin College sparks creativity and enriches the life of the mind.  Instruction in a diversity of disciplines, importantly including the fine and performing arts alongside the traditional liberal arts and sciences, deepens our understanding of ourselves, our histories, and our cultures; drives us to understand the intricacies of nature and to develop new and important technologies; and enriches communities on campus and around the world.

Franklin College invests in research and instruction to understand and improve the world.  Our scholars are shaping the future.  Creativity and innovation fuel the local, regional, and global economies -- and offer the promise of better living in a better world.

Franklin College improves our communities.  Our graduates engage effectively in family, workplace, and community settings; our research has a direct impact on public policy and service organizations; and our students and faculty give back to schools and local and global communities through public service courses and partnerships.

Leadership



Franklin College equips the next generation of global leaders.  We prepare our students with the skills and experiences needed for responsible state, national, and international leadership, through language instruction; area and ethnic studies; study abroad and international student exchange; faculty and student research partnerships; and the diverse national and international perspectives our world-class faculty bring with them to Athens.
