Alverno College, located in southern Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a private Catholic women's college founded by the School Sisters of St. Francis in 1887. The 46-acre urban campus features modern academic buildings and residence halls situated around a central mall, with easy access to downtown Milwaukee. The college maintains a distinctive ability-based curriculum focused on eight specific skills, including communication, analysis, and problem-solving, primarily serving undergraduate women while offering select graduate and adult degree completion programs to all genders. Academic strengths include nursing, education, business, and psychology programs, with the nursing program being particularly noted in the region. Students can choose to live in one of three residence halls on campus, and while the college does not participate in NCAA athletics, it offers recreational sports and fitness activities.
