The College recognized two Franklin University graduates who completed Bachelor ’ s degrees through DACC ’ s 3 + 1 partnership with Franklin . Phillip Howie , Danville , received a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration . Marlo Maher , Oakwood , is a double major who received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a second BS in Communications .
These two graduates previously completed an Associate degree at DACC and then took a third year of DACC courses that counted toward their Bachelor ’ s degree before completing that degree online through Franklin . The program allows placebound students to complete a Bachelor ’ s degree while meeting their family and work commitments at home at a significantly reduced cost compared to a traditional residential university degree .
