Franklin University in Lugano makes Forbes list

Franklin University Switzerland (FUS) has been included by Forbes in their list of Top U.S. Colleges With Branches Overseas. Also mentioned in the list of twelve universities are NYU’s campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, Yale NUS, Georgetown University in Qatar, Temple University Japan, and several other notable and prestigious institutions.

According to Franklin President Greg Warden, “Our inclusion in this group demonstrates that Franklin is a leader in international education both as a study abroad destination and as top degree-granting university accredited both in Switzerland and the United States. It is great to be recognized by Forbes for our achievements."

While FUS has its roots in the U.S. and provides a U.S. style of liberal arts education, it actually is an independent Swiss-American university, not a branch campus. It was founded in Switzerland as Franklin College in 1969, and continues to provide a unique, personalized, and international education combining the best of both countries.

It is accredited in the United States by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and in Switzerland by the Swiss Accreditation Council. It counts 337 students from 59 different countries: North America (52.4%), Latin America and the Caribbean (6.3%), Europe (25.3%), Asia (5.0%), Middle East, North Africa, and Greater Arabia (9.7%), Sub-Saharan Africa (1.5%) and Australia and Oceania (0.5%).
