Wisconsin’s Culture and Life

Wisconsin is known for cheese, and it’s proud of it – the state’s license plates don’t read “America’s Dairyland” for nothing. Since the first Irish, German, and Scandinavian immigrants began coming across the ocean, through New England, and down the Erie Canal for cheap land, agriculture has been Wisconsin’s heart. With them, they brought their cheese-making and beer-brewing skills, establishing an economic foundation that continues until today. But, along with the manufacturing sector, agriculture, even in Wisconsin, isn’t what it used to be, and thousands of Wisconsin’s working adults and young people find themselves heading to college to earn more professional credentials, start their career, or restart their lives. That’s where Wisconsin’s top colleges and universities come into play.

The Future of the Wisconsin Idea

Along with cheese and beer, Wisconsin has a long tradition of community, and one way that community spirit manifests is in the “Wisconsin Idea,” the principle of universal higher education that drives the University of Wisconsin system. From the flagship in Madison to state universities in Eau Claire, La Crosse, and elsewhere, the UW system is one of the best, most accessible, and most affordable public university systems in the nation. UW schools have been regularly ranked as best values, providing the best quality with low tuition rates, strong student support, and a solid, reputable ROI. The same is true of many of Wisconsin’s private liberal arts colleges, both Protestant and Catholic. Even the most elite of Wisconsin’s private institutions take part in the state’s progressive heritage, making their exceptional, traditional liberal arts education accessible through generous financial aid and community outreach. Public or private, Wisconsin’s colleges and universities define value.
