Ripon College is a historic, private liberal arts institution in east-central Wisconsin, recognized for its strong programs in biology, business administration, education, and pre-health tracks. The college is distinguished by its innovative Catalyst curriculum, a five-course, skill-centered core that streamlines general education to give students the flexibility to easily double major or graduate in three years. Campus life is defined by a tight-knit, highly residential community where students actively participate in undergraduate research, NCAA Division III athletics, and collaborative, one-on-one mentorship with faculty.
