Ripon College
Ripon College was founded by dreamers and doers, idealists and
pragmatists. They didn't always agree, but they were unified in their
belief that higher education was a beacon—one that would draw
like-minded people to their frontier community from near and far. That spirit continues at Ripon today.
It's a place where people of all backgrounds come to lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning,
exploration and serious intellectual inquiry. It's a place where questions are answered and answers
questioned, where ethics and reason are at least as important as facts and figures. With its small
classes, professors who love to teach, and an incomparable family atmosphere, Ripon College is the
modern and vibrant realization of a bold vision.
