If you’re interested in visiting campus during the week, we offer individualized visits so you can see what is important to you. While you’re on campus you will meet with an admission counselor to discuss the application and financial aid process and a current student will take you on an hour-long tour to check out campus. If there are certain buildings you’d like to see or you want more information about student life, let your tour guide know! Students can also request to meet with a professor from their intended area of study, a staff member from various departments, and/or a coach. We will do our best to set up these individual appointments for you, but they depend on the availability of each Franklin College staff member.

Our office hours during the academic year are Monday- Thursday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. During the summer, our office hours are Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Dress for the weather – our tours depart in rain, snow, or sunshine.

Franklin College welcomes elementary, middle school and high school group visitors Monday through Friday. Groups of up to 100 students have the opportunity to tour campus and learn more about the college. We can even tailor your visit based on your unique needs and student interests. We look forward to hosting your group!

Lunch can also be provided for Group Visits. If desired, please indicate this on the form and our staff will reach out with pricing and payment information.

Junior year is a perfect time to begin the college search process. Franklin College’s Junior Involvement Day is intended for high school juniors ready to begin their college search and interested in learning more about life as a Grizzly.  By attending Junior Involvement Day, you will not only learn the ins and outs of academic and student life at FC, but you will also have the opportunity to connect with other students attending by participating in a Shark Tank-style competition.
