Edgewood College is a small Catholic liberal arts college in Madison, Wisconsin , in the Diocese Of Madison . Overlooking the shores of Lake Wingra , it occupies 55 acres (223,000 m&2) of Madison's near-west side. It was founded by the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters , many of whom still live near the campus and participate in its activities. It shares grounds with Edgewood High School and Edgewood Campus School.

The college has an Art Therapy program, and has strong Nursing , Educational and Business tracks. It prides itself on its service to the vocational community, with recent 2005 press releases touting refresher courses for IT professionals. However, it also serves a broader undergraduate liberal arts agenda.

In 2005, the student newspaper (''On the Edge'') had finalists in the Associated Press Collegiate Story of the Year contest for their investigative work, having produced several stories which prompted rapid policy changes in response. Jack Vitek is the paper's current adviser.
