Beloit College is a four-year, independent, national college of liberal arts and sciences in southern Wisconsin. Students can expect to receive a premium education from scholars who put teaching first and involve students as much as possible in hands-on research. Small class sizes often result in professors becoming influential mentors, who empower their students to discover what they love to do and put into practice their newfound skills and knowledge to make a remarkable difference in the world. The result is that by the time Beloiters graduate, they haven't just accrued a transcript; they've compiled a strong resume that demonstrates an ability to think critically and creatively, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively with diverse groups of people.
Beloit's 1,350 students come from nearly every state and more than 40 countries. With an incredible breadth of opportunities, a historic campus with modern facilities, a nationally recognized faculty, and creative, motivated students, Beloit is truly a "college that changes lives." Founded in 1846 on the Midwestern frontier, Beloit is Wisconsin's first college.

Students Say
Beloiters describe their academic experiences as "nothing short of phenomenal." As one student explains, "My first day of classes, teachers already knew my name by the time I sat down at the desk." Students benefit from "many one-on-one experiences, hands-on classes, and project-based learning," and note that professors "bring unique perspectives to class material, and the small class size allows them the flexibility to tailor the courses to their students." Because of the low student-to-faculty ratio and "motivated student body, it is possible to have close relationships with faculty that make for a more enriching college experience." And students relish those relationships, describing their professors as "easily accessible," "dynamic and knowledgeable," and "generally nice and open." Beloit professors also prove to be "very good resources for helping you with research, internships, and graduate school applications and program decisions."

Location
Beloit's 40-acre campus is just across the Wisconsin-Illinois state line and is conveniently located just a short drive from three major cities: Chicago (90 miles northwest), Madison (50 miles south), and Milwaukee (70 miles southwest). Beloit's academic buildings are clustered around lawns dotted with trees and twenty ancient North American Indian mounds. Most students live on campus, as Beloit is a residential college that requires students to live in college-operated residence facilities for at least six semesters of full-time enrollment. Beloiters have a variety of housing options to choose from, including traditional residence halls, fraternities (3) and sororities (3), apartments, and special interest houses. All residences halls are within easy walking distance of classrooms, studio locations, and the college's athletic facilities.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
A glorious 21st century use for a quintessentially 20th century facility, the building provides a spectacular space for the community to come together to work, train, eat, and play. It is a showcase of sustainable design and is housed in one of the state's most important historic buildings, tying the college and the city of Beloit closer to the Rock River. The Powerhouse is a first-of-its-kind facility in the country—one that interlaces student life spaces with recreational facilities, further connects campus with the community, and preserves history while looking to the future. More than a student union and an athletic facility.

Off-Campus Opportunities

On Saturdays from May through October, students like to attend the region's most popular farmers' market. For ten days each winter, students, local residents, and visitors flock to the Beloit Film Festival (BIFF), where more than 100 films are screened in downtown venues. Year-round, active students venture to one of several nearby parks to exercise, or when it's warm, to listen to outdoor concerts.
