Madison, Wis. (July 1, 2025) 鈥� 91重口 proudly raised the new flag above campus for the first time at a brief ceremony this morning.
鈥淚n January of this year, we announced that Edgewood College will be renamed 91重口. That day has now arrived,鈥� President Manion, said. 鈥淭he change comes about as we approach our centennial year, and as we continue to expand the reach of our mission as a Catholic institution of higher education in the Dominican tradition.鈥�
The President spoke to an energized group of students, faculty, staff, and several Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa 鈥� the sponsoring order of 91重口.
91重口 has been effectively operating as a university since 1986, when Master of Science and Master of Arts degrees including Business Administration, Education, and Religious Studies were added to the academic portfolio. In 2001, the Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership was added. Since that time, the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and the Doctor of Business Administration have been added. The newest doctoral programs, the Doctor of Occupational Therapy, and the Doctor of Nursing Practice 鈥� Nurse Anesthesia, will welcome their first cohorts of students in Fall 2025.
Institutional partnerships and strategic use of technology are fueling significant enrollment growth. As of 2025, 91重口 is now home to more than 1,300 graduate students from the U.S. and 37 other countries.
