University of Wisconsin-Madison
Location: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706
History
In achievement and prestige, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has long been recognised as one of America's great universities. A public, land-grant institution, UW-Madison offers a complete spectrum of liberal arts studies, professional programmes and student activities. Many of its programmes are hailed as world leaders in instruction, research and public service.
The university traces its roots to a clause in the Wisconsin Constitution, which decreed that the state should have a prominent public university. In 1848, Nelson Dewey, Wisconsin's first governor, signed the act that formally created the university, and its first class, with 17 students, met in a Madison school building on February 5, 1849.
From those humble beginnings, the university has grown into a large, diverse community, with about 40,000 students enrolled each year. These students represent every state in the nation, as well as countries from around the globe, making for a truly international population.
Courses offered
UW-Madison offers instruction in more than 100 fields, with more than 4,200 course listings. Learning takes place in a variety of settings -- from traditional classrooms, to undergraduate research opportunities, to service-learning experiences in the community. Additional opportunities for growth range from 800 student organisations to unique residential learning communities.
