Our students enjoy this comfortable and friendly campus, tucked
in to a scenic residential area near the heart of Madison,
Wisconsin. By attending an independent liberal arts college in
the state capital, our students enjoy great opportunities for
learning in and out of the classroom, and make the connections we
all need for a great career, and a lifetime of learning.
As a Catholic college in the Dominican tradition, we are
committed above all to the lifelong search for truth, arrived at
through relationships in community and partnership, and pursued
by men and women of all nationalities and backgrounds in a true
testament to the value of diversity. All of us—regardless
of our personal spiritual beliefs -- are partners in the pursuit
of a just and compassionate world. We want students to be
transformed by the educational experience they receive at
Edgewood College. We hope they are better for the education they
receive here. And we want to cultivate in our students a sense of
their role in contributing to the common good.

Master of Science in Nursing

Career opportunities for nurses with master's degrees are on the
rise as the health care industry continues to grow and our
population ages. By getting your master's degree in nursing, you
open up an array of specialized areas in which you can practice
as a professional nurse. Edgewood College's Master of Science in
Nursing is a 36-credit program designed to develop nurses into
leaders with advanced knowledge, humanistic values and the
ability to contribute to the changing health care environment.
Edgewood College is pleased to offer two concentration areas
within the Master's in Nursing program:
Nursing Administration
Nursing Administration focuses on health care policy, nursing
delivery systems, resource management, and program evaluation.
There is also an opportunity to take business courses with
students from other disciplines.

clinical nursing instructors, or prepares nurses to work in the
context of staff development.
Our courses are taught by academically and professionally
qualified faculty accomplished in their fields of expertise. The

experience. You can choose to begin your coursework fall, spring
