Why Edgewood’s Model Matters

Edgewood assumes students will serve the common good while building careers. That dual expectation shows up in service-learning requirements, nonprofit internship stipends and nursing clinical placements that double as community health support.

International students should map internships to CPT rules and keep Student Success advisers in the loop for credit registration.

Global And Career Opportunities

Madison links Edgewood students to state government, Epic Systems’ orbit, University of Wisconsin research institutes, major insurers and school districts—excellent diversity of internship hosts within a short bus or bike ride.
