and just to fit into the thread…

" Wisconsin has been one of the leading public universities in the United States since the beginning of the 20th century and ranks as one of the great research universities of the world.[9]

In U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of national universities in 2007, Wisconsin ranked 34th.[10] Among U.S. universities, UW-Madison is frequently listed as one of the “public Ivies”—publicly-funded universities providing a quality of education comparable to those of the Ivy League.[11] In addition to being a top-ranked school in education, geography, history, and sociology, the university was recently ranked the second-best college at which to earn an education degree, and the overall seventh-best public university in the United States.

Washington Monthly’s 2006 college rankings placed Wisconsin 11th, based not only on academic measures, but also student research, public service and social mobility.[12]

In the Gourman report on undergraduate programs, the University of Wisconsin was ranked the third-best public university, after the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan. Additionally, it was ranked the seventh-best university in the United States for overall strength of the undergraduate programs. According to the National Research Council there are over 70 programs at UW-Madison ranked in the top 10 nationally. According to the Shanghai Jiao Tong University rankings,[13] the University of Wisconsin-Madison was ranked the 16th best university the world over.

In a 2004 study by Bloomberg Market News, researchers found that UW-Madison tied Harvard for producing the most CEOs at Standard & Poor’s 500 companies.[14] UW-Madison is second only to Harvard in the number of alumni receiving doctorates, and leads the nation by numbers of alumni in the Peace Corps.[15] The University is one of 60 elected members of the Association of American Universities.
