Carroll University is a college located in Waukesha in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Established in 1846, Carroll was Wisconsin's first four-year institution of higher learning. Carroll University is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church USA. Its approximately 130 acre campus contains 19th century homes, facilities, and residences for over 3,500 students. The curriculum offers more than 95 areas of study and an integrated five-course general education component known as the Pioneer Core, which aims to globalize students through its central theme of cross-cultural interaction. Before July 1, 2008, Carroll University was known as Carroll College.
Prior to its establishment, Carroll was known as Prairieville Academy, which was founded in 1841. Its charter – named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence – was passed into law by the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature on January 31, 1846. During the 1860s, the American Civil War and financial difficulty caused Carroll to temporarily suspend operations. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to change the institution's name to Carroll University, effective July 1, 2008.
Carroll University offers more than 95 areas of study at an undergraduate level, with master's degrees and certificates in selected subjects, as well as one clinical doctorate program in physical therapy. There are 133 full-time and 258 part-time faculty members. 71.4% of the faculty have terminal degrees. As of September 2015, Carroll serves 3,521 students at the full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate levels. These students represent 33 states and 31 countries.
