Beloit College
Beloit College offers students an education that is put into action. With extensive opportunities to study abroad, engage in internships and field terms, collaborate with professors, start businesses, form clubs, and play sports, students plunge into campus life, get their hands dirty, put the liberal arts into practice, and emerge with the experiences and global knowledge to live meaningfully and productively in the 21st century. Since its founding over 165 years ago, Beloit's 1350 students--from nearly every state and over 40 countries--are at home in the world of ideas and leave the college, able to make critical connections between thought and action. Beloit boasts two teaching museums (anthropology and art), a state-of-the-art science center, a newly renovated track and turf field at the stadium, and a lush, green campus reminiscent of its New England heritage. Ninety percent of students live on campus, creating a tightknit community of creative, interesting, and engaged learners. Surprisingly, an education this rich in opportunity can be affordable. Over 97 percent of students are receiving financial aid, with average aid almost $28,000. A founding member of The Colleges That Change Lives, Beloit College continues to transform young adults into this nations leaders in business, education, the for- and non-profit sectors, government, and global industries.
