President's Welcome

Welcome to Wisconsin Lutheran College, where you’ll find higher education on a solid foundation. As you navigate through our Web site, I’m confident you’ll agree that WLC is truly special for three very distinct reasons.

Through their teaching, our professors enhance our students’ knowledge of the originator of all gifts, God our Creator. They are encouraged to be good stewards of those gifts, whether musical, intellectual or physical. This is one reason why Wisconsin Lutheran College is special – it’s the people.

Compared to most institutions, WLC is rather young, having been established in 1973. We have one of the newest campuses in the country and one of the most beautiful, with its Romanesque architecture, red tile roofs and arched concourses. Yet though we are young, WLC has been ranked as one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S.News and World Report for 2008. This is another reason why Wisconsin Lutheran College is special – it’s the place.

In 1973 the college was founded to fill an unmet need that Christian parents and young people had – the need for a college with a Christ-centered curriculum that fully prepared graduates for life and work. And today, WLC promises students not only a rich curriculum, but a college experience full of opportunity to participate a variety of activities. It promises graduates a degree that leads to a professional career or admission to almost any graduate school in the country. That is another reason why Wisconsin Lutheran College is special – it’s the promise.

We invite you to visit our campus. See for yourself that it’s the people, place and promise that make Wisconsin Lutheran College truly special.
