Junior
Year in Freiburg (1960-1996)
In
1960, Wayne State University opened the Junior Year in Freiburg
program as its second study abroad site in Germany when the number
of students applying to the Junior Year in Munich exceeded the capacity
of the program to accommodate them.
The
Junior Year in Freiburg program was sponsored exclusively by Wayne
State from 1960 to 1964. The University of Wisconsin-Madison and
the University of Michigan joined the program as co-sponsors in
1964, followed by Michigan State University in 1968. Wayne State
University remained the lead administrator of the JYF program until
its closure in 1996.
More
than 2,000 students participated in the Junior Year in Freiburg
program from 1960 to 1996, including the current director of the
Junior Year in Munich program, Mark
Ferguson (JYF 1976-77).
