The Cutting-Edge Program at Edgewood College is a new, universal access approach to inclusion in college for adult learners with significant disabilities. Program participants have either traditionally not been able to meet the standard admissions criteria for college, or require additional supports in order to be successful in a college environment.
Edgewood College is the first four-year college in Wisconsin to offer such a program to adult learners who have significant disabilities.
