School Notes:
- Carroll College, often called Wisconsin’s pioneer college, is the oldest college in the state. In 1841, settlers living in the Wisconsin Territory community of Prairieville established the academy that five years later would become Carroll College. Soon after its founding, Carroll affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and adopted the motto, "Christo et Litteris," which means "for Christ and Learning." Carroll was chartered by the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature on Jan. 31, 1846, two years before Wisconsin became a state.
- Carroll College’s educational philosophy is sustained by the four pillars of integrated knowledge, gateway experiences, lifelong skills and enduring values. These pillars undergrid all that we do at Carroll. They support the Carroll experience and our vision for Carroll students to achieve a lifetime of potential.
- Carroll College provides 43 academic majors, 16:1 of student faculty ratio, average class size of 20. The major Undergraduate degrees offered in Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and Bachelor of Music Education. Graduate degrees offered in Master of Education, Master of Physical Therapy, Master of Software engineering, and Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
- Situated on 50 acres in one of Wisconsin’s fastest growing communities, Carroll is only minutes away from the energy of Milwaukee, and the beauty and serenity of Wisconsin’s coveted Kettle Moraine wilderness area. Our beautiful campus includes historic buildings with modern amenities.
