Franklin University Switzerland
Franklin University Switzerland is an American, four-year liberal arts institution located in Lugano, Switzerland.
Franklin places extraordinary emphasis on cross-cultural perspectives, an emphasis designed to affect the direction and meaning of a student's college experience, life and career. A commitment to courses of study that are international in perspective and cross-cultural in content has been the cornerstone of our educational mission since our founding in 1969. In fact, we classify this need as the international imperative in education.
Formerly known as Franklin College Switzerland, Franklin University Switzerland was fully accredited as a university institution by the Swiss University Conference in April 2013. Adding the Swiss accreditation to the U.S. accreditation by the Middle States Association Commission on Higher Education obtained in 1975 and reconfirmed most recently in 2010, Franklin officially changed its name in 2014 to reflect its new status.
