Beloit College has been cited as one of the top colleges in the nation that involve students in the educational process. Our curriculum fosters critical thinking and creative expression; it emphasizes international education, interdisciplinary, and experiential learning. Active student learning and student-faculty collaboration are at the heart of a Beloit education.

We are a four-year, independent, national college of liberal arts and sciences where the focus is great teaching grounded in rigorous study that encourages independent research, fieldwork, and collaboration with peers and professors.

The college is a dynamic and uncommonly diverse community where cliques, stereotypes, and exclusivity are left behind and the flexible curriculum is interdisciplinary, experiential, and global in scope. Beloit is a residential college whose 1,300 students come from nearly every state and over 40 countries. With an incredible breath of opportunities, modern facilities, an award winning faculty, and creative, motivated students, Beloit has been named to the Business 50, International 50, and Science 50 (only 21 colleges, including Beloit, appear on all three lists). Founded in 1846 to serve a frontier society, Beloit is Wisconsin's first college.
