Which college did Harry Crane attend?

Harry Crane attended the University of Wisconsin. The show identifies Harry as a Wisconsin native and a University of Wisconsin alumnus, setting him apart from several of his closest Sterling Cooper colleagues who attended Ivy League schools.

Harry begins Mad Men as a media buyer, but his interest in television becomes one of his most important professional traits. He recognizes television's growing value to advertisers and eventually creates and leads Sterling Cooper's television department. His education and Midwestern background contrast with the firm's generally East Coast, status-conscious culture.

The answer is sometimes confused with the schools attended by Harry's friends. Ken Cosgrove went to Columbia, Pete Campbell attended Dartmouth, and Paul Kinsey went to Princeton. Harry is specifically the non-Ivy League member of that circle.

Over time, Harry becomes head of media at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. His career rise reflects the changing advertising business: television moves from a secondary concern to a central source of audience reach, money, and agency influence.
