Innovative Partnership
Earn Your Bachelor’s Degree Online at Foothill

Foothill College has teamed up with Ohio’s Franklin University to offer an online bachelor’s degree completion program. By enrolling in on-campus classes at Foothill and online courses through Franklin, you can earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration, computer science, digital communication, health care management, management information sciences, public safety management or technical management.

Upon completion of the Foothill associate degree, you can complete a series of "bridge" courses at Foothill while simultaneously taking online classes through Franklin University. The completion program offers classes in 6-, 12- and 15-week formats.

Approximately three-quarters of the bachelor’s degree can be completed at Foothill where California residents pay $7 per unit of instruction. After completing approximately 40 hours online in Franklin courses, you will receive a bachelor of science degree.

While enrolled in the program, you will receive support services from both schools, including counseling and library access.
