A long-standing Duke global education program in Italy is changing shape.
The Duke in Florence program is ending after its host institution, the University of Michigan, decided to close its program near Florence, Italy, after Fall 2011. Duke in Florence, which began in 1997, might reopen next year as a new partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Florence program, located in Sesto Fiorentino, was a learning consortium headed by the University of Michigan in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Duke. Last Spring, the University of Michigan announced it would no longer manage the program and that it would end in December, said Margaret Riley, director of the Global Education Office for Undergraduates.
?The future of the Duke in Florence Program is yet to be determined,? Riley wrote in an email Thursday. ?The University of Wisconsin... has indicated interest in reconfiguring the program.?
