Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges & Universities


  • About Us

    Our mission is straightforward: Wisconsin's private, nonprofit colleges and universities working together for educational opportunity. We advance the interests and promote the development of independent colleges and universities in Wisconsin. We articulate the values and purposes of independent higher education and educate the public about our sector. We advocate equitable public policy affecting higher education in Wisconsin and nationally, and cost-effective allocation of public funds to assure freedom of choice for students in selecting an institution of higher education. We administer resource sharing, the exchange of information and scholarship, and mutual consultation and cooperation among the twenty-two independent colleges and universities in Wisconsin. We assist members in promoting access, affordability, and accountability. We advance private philanthropy in support of the mission, our members, and their students.
