Our Services

Ben Franklin University is an educational service that provides online instruction and guidance to insure that you complete and get college credit for each course you take.  BFU is not a real educational institution with buildings, high-dollar faculty, sports teams, and all that overhead!  We do not grant college credit, but our courses lead directly to college credit that can be applied to the degree you want at the college of your choice.

We provide the materials, tests, information and guidance.  You provide the time and effort to complete the course.  Our instruction method makes learning simple and easy as it can be, but still there is work to be done! 

The cost to attend Ben Franklin University is $60 per course.

There is also an examination fee of around $100 that the student must pay for each CLEP exam taken.  This is paid to an institution in your area where the examinations are held. 

For a total cost of less than $180 students can earn three college credit hours.  

In most cases there will be no additional costs.  No textbooks are required.  If additional materials should be deemed necessary or useful to purchase, these will be paid for by the student.  

We provide a Student Study Checklist that will speed you on your way to completion of each course. We also provide diagnostic tests that can be taken the first day you sign up for the course--that will give a clear indication of how long you will need to prepare. Some students may find they will be ready to take the CLEP exam in as little as one week! 

Central to Ben Franklin University is a learning method invented in 2005 that allows you to learn quickly and in spare moments during your busy day.  You can learn just about anywhere.  You do not have to be at a computer or to study out of large books.
