Franklin Institute Of Science
On your next visit to Philadelphia, take a stop by the Franklin Institute of Science. There is a great wealth of information awaiting you.
Ben Franklin had an innovative idea in his will when he left a gift to the "inhabitants of the Town of Boston" to help educate technical apprentices - a gift Franklin hoped would enrich the world, and to his credit - he was right.
In 1906, the people that oversaw the management of the Franklin Fund decided that a technical institute would best accomplish Franklin's original purpose. Aided by an additional gift from industrialist Andrew Carnegie and land donated by the City of Boston, BFIT opened its doors to students in 1908. Since then, BFIT has seen over 85,000 students benefit from its unique approach to technical education.
Just like Ben Franklin's leadership and vision helped shape the very nation, Ben Franklin's gift and vision founded the Franklin Institute where so many have benefitted and are able to return so much to society through what they have learned.
Currently there are 388 day students enrolled at the Franklin Institute and it's accreditation is with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) The Technical Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. It is possible to attain the following degrees from this Institute Bachelor of Science, Associate in Engineering, Associate in Science, Certificate of Proficiency.
The Franklin Institute offers a chance a lot of people may not have had otherwise, but thanks to Ben's vision for the future - many people have an even brighter future!
