Franklin University, Ohio's top-ranked nonprofit university for adult learners and online programs, is pleased to announce its new combined bachelor and master's degree programs. Designed to support the needs of busy professionals, these 100% online programs offer a streamlined approach, allowing students to earn both a bachelor's and master's degree at the same time, maximizing both their time and investment.

With dual bachelor's and master's degree programs available in high-demand fields like cybersecurity, human resources, information technology, and public administration, students can earn both degrees faster than pursuing each separately. By completing select graduate courses while still enrolled in a bachelor's program, students reduce overall credit requirements and costs. Students in these bachelor and master degree combined programs online will benefit from paying undergraduate tuition for two graduate courses, applying these credits toward their bachelor's degree requirements.

Franklin's combined degree programs equip professionals with advanced knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the workforce. With demand for professionals holding advanced degrees expected to grow by nearly 15% by 2031, Franklin's innovative pathways help students gain a valuable edge, entering the workforce with sought-after skills at a fraction of the cost. Each program emphasizes hands-on learning and practical skills tailored to industry needs.

Available Programs Include:
• B.S. Cybersecurity + M.S. Cybersecurity: Recognized for excellence, this program prepares students with essential cybersecurity expertise.
• B.S. HR Management + M.S. HR Management: Accredited by IACBE, this HR program shapes strategic leaders in talent and organizational development.
• B.S. Information Technology + M.S. Information Technology: Highly customizable, this IT program equips students with versatile tech skills.
• B.S. Public Safety Management + Master of Public Administration: Designed for future leaders in governance, focusing on investigation, prevention, and community engagement.

These forward-thinking pathways empower students to accelerate their education and advance their careers while maintaining the highest quality. With Franklin's online programs, students can seamlessly balance academic growth with their personal and professional commitments seamlessly.
