Education

Our highly educated population is one of the benefits of doing business in the Madison area. In comparison to both the state and national averages, the Greater Madison area has a higher concentration of graduates at every level of education from high school to graduate degrees.  

The Greater Madison region's percentage of two- and four-year college graduates speaks volumes about the community's institutions of higher education. The Madison area is home to not only the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the country's leading research universities, but also prestigious private universities including Edgewood College and Madison College, an area technical school.
