BA/BS in Communication and Media Studies

This bachelor's degree from Franklin University focuses on communication strategy, writing and media skills for workplace messaging. Students work through a structured set of courses aimed at adult learners who balance study with jobs and family. Courses are delivered online in short terms with several start dates across the year. Previously earned college credit can count toward a large share of the degree, which helps students finish sooner. Tuition is billed per credit, and the university locks in the first-term rate for as long as a student stays actively enrolled. Prospective students can use the transfer and cost tools on the university site or speak with an admission advisor to confirm start dates and eligibility. Students can review the course list and learning outcomes on the program page before applying. Admission decisions and credit evaluations are handled individually, so applicants should confirm requirements with the university.
