If you've ever thought about advancing in project management — this is worth a read.

Over 437,000 job postings for Project Management Specialists were recorded in 2023, with 11% growth projected through 2033. The field is growing. And what employers are looking for is shifting with it.

Franklin's own Dr. Doug Ross breaks down why specialization is becoming the differentiator — and what that means for your career.

Franklin's B.S. in Business Administration now includes a new Project Management specialization built for exactly the growth we're seeing in the field.

Franklin University celebrated a first.

Swipe to meet the first four graduates of the program he helped build. 🎓

1,227 graduates. 47 states. 26 countries.

Franklin University's 182nd Commencement Ceremony brought together the Class of Spring 2026 — and graduate Jamie W. captured the spirit of what it took to get there.

"Somewhere along the way, we became people willing to keep learning, willing to grow, willing to step forward even when we didn't have all the answers."

Congratulations to every graduate and the families who cheered them on. 🎓

Four of this Spring's graduates. Three questions before they crossed the stage.

One of them: what almost stopped you from enrolling? They questioned whether the timing was right—whether they had enough time, whether they could balance it all, or whether going back to school made sense at this stage of life.

They enrolled anyway. 🎓
