University of Wisconsin-Madison

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a public land-grant university and major research institution that has been a catalyst for change since its founding in 1848. Its students, staff and faculty combine a research education with solving real-world problems, guided by public service, which the campus calls the Wisconsin Idea. The campus counts 22 Nobel Prizes and 43 Pulitzer Prize winners among its people and is part of the Universities of Wisconsin, a system of 13 universities around the state that serves more than 164,000 students.
