==Education and science== There are two major centres of education and research located in the canton of Ticino. [[Università della Svizzera italiana|University of Italian Switzerland]] (USI, Università della Svizzera Italiana) in Lugano is the only Swiss university teaching primarily in Italian. The [[SUPSI|University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland]] (SUPSI, Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana), in [[Manno]], is a professional training college focused on a practical method of teaching in the areas of applied art, economy, social work, technology and production science.<ref name="DoC"/> There is also a small American and Swiss accredited private college, [[Franklin University Switzerland]], located above [[Lugano]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fc.edu/content/about-franklin/ |title=About Franklin - the International Imperative - Franklin College |access-date=15 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120420154544/http://www.fc.edu/content/about-franklin/ |archive-date=20 April 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> as well as [[The American School in Switzerland]] in [[Collina d'Oro]], a K-13 international school accepting day and boarding students.
