2. Marquette University: Based in Milwaukee, Marquette is a private university with strong programs in business, nursing, and biological sciences. It's the only university in the country offering a major in Physiological Sciences.

3. Carleton College: This highly selective liberal arts college in Northfield is known for its rigorous academic environment and small class sizes. Strong programs include political science, economics, and biology.

4. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee: UWM has a well-regarded School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and its Peck School of the Arts is one of the best in the Midwest.

5. Beloit College: Beloit is a small liberal arts institution with a focus on experiential learning. It's known for its strong anthropology and geology programs.

6. Lawrence University: Lawrence is unique in its dual degree program in liberal arts and engineering with Columbia University. They are known for their Conservatory of Music which offers majors in vocal, instrumental, and composition fields.
