Whether you’re an incoming freshman, transfer, graduate or non-U.S. credentialed student, the admissions process at FranU is straightforward with our easy-to-follow guides based on applicant type.
This page is your guide to FranU admissions, including how to determine your applicant type and important deadlines for applying.
There are many different types of undergraduate applicants: freshmen and first-time applicant students, dual enrollment and early admission students, re-entry and returning students, and transfer students. If you fall into one of these categories and intend to apply to a two-year, four-year, pre- or post-baccalaureate certificate program, review the undergraduate admissions requirements to learn more about your application process.
Fall applications submitted by November 1st will be reviewed as Early Action. These non-binding decisions will be released November 8th. Applications received after November 8th will be released on a rolling basis.
If you’ve earned a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university and plan on seeking an advanced academic degree at either the master’s or doctoral level, you should apply as a graduate applicant. Graduate applicants will need to review the admissions requirements for their specific program, as requirements can vary from program to program.
While FranU does not currently accept international students, students with non-U.S. credentials can still apply. FranU non-U.S. credentialed applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents to be admitted and can apply with a transcript in a language other than English (subject to independent evaluation).
FranU offers two fully online programs: the online Master of Health Administration and online Bachelor of Business Administration. If you plan on applying to one of these programs, be sure to review the application and admissions requirements for your program of interest.
