Top-flight academics, big-time Big Ten sports, a beautiful lakeside campus—the University of Wisconsin-Madison offers it all.

Renowned around the world for forward thinking, UW-Madison is synonymous with excellence in higher education. The university consistently ranks among the top five universities in the United States for funded research. Its nationally ranked departments in engineering, law, economics, medicine, psychology, and statistics offer particular opportunities for Wisconsin MBA students.

When it comes to sports, a football Saturday at Wisconsin’s historic Camp Randall stadium is a truly memorable experience. But, if you are more of a hockey fan or basketball fanatic, you’ll still find plenty to cheer about. More interested in your own sporting life? Sailing, windsurfing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, basketball, and exercise programs are just a few of the options offered in outstanding facilities

And then there’s the campus, often considered one of the most beautiful in the U.S. Ask any Wisconsin graduate and they’ll fondly recall afternoons spent on the Union Terrace, watching the sailboats, sipping a cool drink while talking with classmates. Other favorite sites include Bascom Hill, with its iconic statue of Abraham Lincoln; the outdoor Library Mall where every food (and every political persuasion) can be found; and the Lakeshore Path that winds throughout the wooded campus.
