Founded in 1900, the Wisconsin School of Business is one of the first five business programs in the nation.  That pioneering spirit has remained over the decades as we aim to shape the future of business higher education through innovations in how and what we teach and in our research endeavors.

We are the gateway to a premier alumni network of successful leaders in business and beyond. With the help of our alumni and friends, we strive to:

We launch them on their way to personal and professional success by offering an exceptional student experience that combines a rigorous curriculum with applied learning opportunities and one-on-one attention. 

Conduct research at the frontier of knowledge

At Wisconsin, we encourage our faculty members to lead the advancement of their field of expertise.  Excellence in research defines what and how we teach, enriches our exchange with industry and policy leaders, and opens unique partnership opportunities at the service of our students.
