Undergraduate research at Franklin College promotes deep learning by inviting students to be active participants in the process of discovery.
These mentored, self-directed projects involve inquiry, design, investigation, research, scholarship, discovery, application, writing, and performance. Students often present their work on a local, regional, and national level through conferences and publications.
Scholars’ Day
Each year, after months of detailed research under the direction of faculty mentors, students have the opportunity to showcase their work for faculty, staff, peers and guests on Scholars’ Day.
