Overview
Edgewood College is an open admission private four-year institution in Madison, Wisconsin. The school accepts most applicants who complete the application process.
Admission Guide
Edgewood College accepts nearly all applicants, but you still need to submit a complete application through the Common Application or directly to the school. The application includes your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and a personal statement. Standardized test scores are optional for most programs.
Apply by August 1 for fall admission or December 1 for spring admission to ensure full consideration for financial aid and housing. Rolling admissions means you can apply later, but earlier applications receive priority for scholarships and residence hall placement.
The nursing program requires separate application materials and maintains higher admission standards than the college overall. You need to complete prerequisite courses in biology, chemistry, and anatomy before starting the nursing sequence. Submit your nursing application by February 1 for fall entry, as this program has limited enrollment.
Housing fills quickly despite the small campus size. Submit your housing application immediately after being accepted if you want to live on campus. First-year students participate in a required orientation program that includes academic advising and course registration.
The Madison campus sits on 55 acres near Lake Wingra, about 10 minutes from downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin campus. Class sizes typically range from 12-20 students, and professors teach all courses rather than graduate assistants. The academic calendar follows a traditional semester system with summer session options available.
