The UW–Madison School of Education and many of its programs are widely regarded as among the best in the nation. Our renowned faculty, staff, and students conduct innovative research that is driven by the Wisconsin Idea and the conviction that the work they do should benefit Wisconsin, the country, and the world.
This academic excellence also translates to athletics, where the Wisconsin Badgers compete at the highest level of college sports and collectively hold 199 Big Ten conference titles, 44 non-Big Ten titles, 33 NCAA national titles and 16 non-NCAA titles. Our Badger Inquiry On Sport (BIOS) initiative further contributes to this success by harnessing the power of sports research and innovation, sharing its findings with the UW community and beyond in order to improve the world of sports for everyone. By receiving your master’s degree from UW–Madison, you’ll join an ever-growing Badger family of innovators and trailblazers who make a positive difference across various fields. It’s all part of attending a top-ranked Big Ten university.
