Edgewood College’s plan to transition to a new name could cost as much as $250,000 and take a few years to fully implement, but changes are expected to start this summer.
“Edgewood University” will better reflect what the private Catholic school has evolved into since its founding in Madison nearly a century ago, said President Andrew Manion.
In 1927, Edgewood College operated as a junior college for women to study liberal arts. The institution then grew to train teachers on a coed campus. In more recent years, the school has essentially operated as a university without being designated as one, Manion said.
