Franklin Scholarship Showcase

Franklin Scholarship Showcase

Franklin University boasts an active research and scholarly community. This section highlights some of the work being done by our faculty, staff, and students. 

Franklin University Scholarly Exchange (FUSE)

Franklin University Scholarly Exchange (FUSE) is our institutional repository, which provides an open access digital collection of the Franklin University community’s scholarship and research. FUSE includes faculty, staff, and student works, along with archives of conferences sponsored by the University or related groups.

You can access FUSE and browse our collection using this link: https://fuse.franklin.edu. 

Distinguished Student Scholarship Collection (DSSC)

The Distinguished Student Scholarship Collection (DSSC) recognizes exceptional student works. Faculty can nominate outstanding student works (undergraduate, graduate, or non-dissertation doctoral) for inclusion in the collection. The DSSC Policies page provides additional information about the requirements and standards for including works in the DSSC.

You can view works accepted into the DSSC on FUSE. 

Doctoral Graduate Awards

The Office of Academic Scholarship (OAS) recognizes outstanding scholarship from our doctoral graduates through the Dissertation Excellence Award (DEA) and the Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project Excellence Award (DNP-SPEA). Nominated by dissertation committee members and/or program chairs, the awards acknowledge the hard work and dedication of each recipient and serve as a source of motivation and inspiration to other students. 

You can view the DEA dissertations written by our previous nominees and recipients on FUSE. DNP projects are also available on FUSE.
