Unlocking Opportunities
in Franchising
I did my whole program online, so every step of the way, my professor was willing to hop on a call with me and did anything to help me excel.
– Austin Tatum, Participant, Undergraduate Certificate in Franchise Management
It was amazing to learn everything in the program, the academics of how a franchise works, how to hire employees, how to recruit, how to train, etc. This path has introduced me to successful people and real-life applications of franchising.
