Description: Carroll University is Wisconsin's Pioneer institution of higher learning! Founded in 1846, the campus is nestled in the heart of the town of Waukesha, a suburb of Milwaukee. Carroll's campus is able to blend the historic elements of the University with the new Science, Business, and Education facilities that we've been lucky enough to build these past few years. Some of our top majors include Nursing, Exercise Science, Education, Business, Physical Therapy (DPT), and Animal Behavior. Carroll is home to roughly 2,800 undergraduate students and 700 graduate-level students. With over 95+ areas of study, there is something for any student. Many students describe Carroll as feeling like they're home the second they walk onto campus.
