Carroll College is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian church located in Waukesha in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Carroll opened in 1846, two years before Wisconsin became a state. Carroll claims to be the oldest existing college in Wisconsin, however that claim is also held by Beloit College.

Based on a core of studies in the liberal arts and sciences, complemented by career preparation and co-curricular programs, a Carroll education encourages growth in international and cultural awareness, social responsibility, moral sensitivity and spiritual reflection. A Carroll education begins with the acquisition of fundamental skills and bodies of knowledge. These skills include critical inquiry, effective communication, aesthetic understanding, quantitative reasoning and the capacities to gather and assimilate information and to identify and solve problems. The most essential consequence of a Carroll education is that students develop their capacity and desire to continue learning.

Carroll College currently offers more than fifty areas of study at mostly an undergraduate level, but also offers Master's degrees and certificates in certain subjects, as well as one doctoral program in Physical Therapy. There are ninety six full-time faculty members and approximately 3,000 students from twenty eight states and twenty seven countries. The school provides housing to approximately 1,200 students in six residence halls, six apartment buildings, and two houses. It is in the NCAA Division III Midwest Conference and competes in ten men's and ten women's sports (including the nationally ranked men's basketball team).
