Franklin University Switzerland is an American International institution of higher learning, established in 1969, whose sole campus lies in the city of Lugano, near the border with Italy.
Franklin is accredited by the Middles States Commission on Higher Education in the United States and its academic programs are recognized by OAQ/CUS, the Swiss accrediting agencies, making it the only institution with dual U.S.-Swiss accreditation. Franklin's emphasis is on international education and the liberal arts, which it integrates into a wide range of majors and interdisciplinary programs in the applied sciences and the humanities, including international management; international relations; international banking and finance; environmental studies; international economics; communications and media studies; visual and communication arts; and comparative literary and cultural studies.
This global focus can also be seen in Franklin's signature Academic Travel Program, in which each semester all students travel with faculty to destinations around the world for field work, service learning, or cultural immersion, for a total of nearly 40 such trips each academic year. In fall 2010, the College had 50 total faculty and 450 students, approximately 65% of whom from the US, 20% from Europe and 10% from the Middle East.
