Carroll College - Waukesha

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Carroll University is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian church located in Waukesha in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Carroll opened in 1846, two years before Wisconsin became a state. Carroll claims to be the oldest existing four-year institution in Wisconsin, however that claim is also held by Beloit College.

It currently offers more than sixty areas of study at mostly an undergraduate level, but also offers Master's degrees and certificates in certain subjects, as well as one clinical doctorate program in Physical Therapy. There are ninety-six full-time faculty members and approximately 3,325 students from twenty-eight states and twenty-seven countries. The school provides housing to approximately 1,200 students in six residence halls, six apartment buildings, and two houses. The institution offers an intercollegiate athletic program as a member of the NCAA Division III Midwest Conference and competes in ten men's and ten women's sports (including the nationally ranked men's basketball team).

Prior to July 1, 2008, Carroll University was known as Carroll College (Wisconsin).

"Oldest College in Wisconsin?"

Carroll University claims to be the oldest college in Wisconsin, however this claim is also held by Beloit College.

Prairieville Academy, which eventually became Carroll College (and subsequently Carroll University), was established in 1841. Three years later, in summer of 1844, the genesis for Beloit College came in the form of a group of New Englanders calling themselves "Friends of Education," who gathered to discuss the formation of a "frontier college."

The charter for Carroll – named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence – was passed into law by the Wisconsin Territorial Legislation on January 31, 1846. Beloit's charter followed shortly on February 2, giving rise to Carroll's claim to be the oldest four-year institution in Wisconsin.
