Edgewood University is a private Dominican university in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. It occupies a 55 acres (22 ha) campus overlooking Lake Wingra. Edgewood offers more than 40 undergraduate majors and 25 graduate degrees, and has an enrollment of over 2,400 students.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 75% freshman retention rate and 67% graduation rate suggest a meaningful share of students don't make it to the finish line, which is worth asking about before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $19,000, and being on a 55-acre lakeside campus in Madison puts you in one of the Midwest's best college cities with genuine opportunities nearby. Worth considering if you want a small, values-driven Catholic environment with personalized attention, but look closely at what support systems exist for students who are struggling to stay enrolled.
