Silver
Lake College is a coeducational,
liberal arts and professional degree
granting institution that is
sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters
of Christian Charity. Our four-year
college seeks "to empower its
students for self-directed and
continuing intellectual inquiry and
commitment to Christian values for
self-directed leadership in an
increasingly global society". Silver
Lake's thirty acre campus adjacent
to the shores of Silver Lake is
conveniently located near the city
of Manitowoc which is the Maritime
Capital of Wisconsin and home to
approximately 33,000 residents. Also
in close proximity is Interstate 43,
the major north-south corridor of
eastern Wisconsin linking Milwaukee
and Green Bay. For more than 60
years, Silver Lake College has
provided the best of both worlds: a
clean and safe local environment
with abundant opportunities to enjoy
a variety of outdoor activities and
access to large, metropolitan areas.
