That's both private and public (assuming you are using the Newsweek rankings) and is still a damn good ranking. It has a great many excellent programs and is higher in the public school rankings. Many of the smaller state schools score high in the rankings as well when compared to other schools of their size.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as Edgewood College, Madison Area Technical College, and Herzing College, giving the city a student population of nearly 50,000. The University of Wisconsin in Madison contributes the vast majority of these, with roughly 40,000 students enrolled. This makes it one of the largest public universities in the United States. It is consistently rated among the top post-secondary schools in the country, and has outstanding courses, professors, and programs. In a Forbes magazine city ranking from 2003, Madison had the highest number of Ph.D.s per capita, and third highest college graduates per capita, among ranked cities in the United States. [1] Sports make up a large part of the campus experience at the university, both intramural and intercollegiate. The University's athletic teams, nicknamed the "Badgers", are consistently among the best in United States, drawing throngs of students, alumni, and state residents to their contests.

Additional degree programs are available through satellite campuses of Lakeland College and Upper Iowa University for students who maintain full-time employment.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business has made the Financial Times' annual list of the world's top executive education providers for the fourth consecutive year. In its May 16 business education section, the London-based Times ranked executive education programs throughout the world. UW-Madison was ranked 15th in the U.S. (26th in the world) in the publication's overall ranking.

The Fluno Center, where most UW-Madison executive education training is held, was ranked first in the world for food and accommodations in custom programs for the second year in a row (see related article). In open enrollment programs, Fluno was ranked first in the world for accommodations and third in the world for food. General Manager Jeff Butler said, “Our employees are incredibly dedicated to making the Fluno Center the best experience possible for our guests, and we’re honored to see our efforts reflected in the rankings.”

Ted Beck, associate dean for executive education and corporate relations, said, “We continue to work hard to deliver quality and value in our corporate programs. Ranking in the top 15 of U.S. schools speaks to our success in both public and custom programs.”

Dean Michael M. Knetter said, “Our advancement in the executive education arena worldwide demonstrates our commitment to business education and the Wisconsin Idea. We’re training leaders at all points in their careers, from undergraduate to MBAs, Ph.D.s, and working professionals from entry-level to executives.”

UW-Madison Executive Education offers more than 260 public seminars annually in more than 80 program areas, including 10 certificate series in topics such as basic management, mid-management, project management, marketing and operations management.

Executive MBA Rated Among World’s Best
The Financial Times of London has ranked the University of Wisconsin-Madison Executive MBA program 27th in the world, up from 33rd last year. UW-Madison is 16th among all U.S. programs and second among U.S. schools in percentage of women enrolled. The rankings appeared in the October 20 Executive MBA section of the international business newspaper.

This is the third year the Financial Times has ranked executive MBA programs and the third time UW-Madison’s Executive MBA was cited as being among the world’s best. The UW-Madison program, started in 1993, admits 30-35 students each year.

The Financial Times ranking takes into account factors including faculty quality and research, and quality and diversity of the program. It also measures—by surveying alums—alumni satisfaction, international mobility, career progress and salary growth.

School of Business Dean Michael M. Knetter commented, “This new ranking confirms we are delivering a top-quality program to employers and to the professionals who participate in the program.”

UW-Madison was the only Wisconsin school to make the Financial Times top-75 ranking.
