The University of Wisconsin–Madison (also known as UW–Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin, or UW) is a highly selective public research university located in Madison, Wisconsin. Founded in 1848, it is the largest university in the state with a total enrollment of over 41,000 students, of whom approximately 29,000 are undergraduates.
From 1848 to 1956, UW-Madison was part of the higher education system in Wisconsin that included the current Madison campus, 10 freshman-sophomore centers and the state-wide extensions. From 1956–1971, it was part of the then University of Wisconsin. It became a part of the University of Wisconsin System in 1971.
A public, land-grant institution, UW–Madison offers a wide spectrum of liberal arts studies, professional programs, and student activities. The school is frequently called a "public Ivy," and in 2007 US News and World Report ranked UW the seventh best public university in the United States. The school has a number of specific programs that are ranked among the best in the US (e.g. sociology, education).
Wisconsin's NCAA Division I athletic teams are called the Badgers. They compete in the Big Ten Conference in all sports except ice hockey, which is a part of Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Wisconsin's football team won the Rose Bowl in 1994, 1999, and 2000. Its men's basketball team won the NCAA National Championship in 1941, and made it to the Final Four in 2000. Both the men's and women's hockey teams won the national championship in 2006.
