Beloit College (Beloit, WI)

Beloit College is a private, undergraduate, liberal arts college located in the town of Beloit, south of Janesville on the Wisconsin-Illinois state line. Established in 1846, the college is the oldest continuously operated institution of higher learning in the state. As Beloit was founded by pioneers, the college emphasizes those roots by promoting student sovereignty and agency, varied learning experiences occurring in and out of the classroom, and inner reflection

Beloit enrolls about 1,300 students, and has an academic staff of 105; thus, the college maintains an approximately 12-to-one student-to-faculty ratio. The average class size is about 15 students. The school has more than 50 majors and 30 minors; a dual-degree program is also available.

The 40-acre campus is known for its meadows, public art, and eclectic architectural styles. Unsurprisingly, given the college’s penchant for encouraging adventure among its students, 56 percent participate in a study abroad program while attending school there.

Forbes ranks Beloit as the #125 Best University in the Nation, while U.S. News & World Report considers this college to be a Best Value within the National Liberal Arts College category.

Beloit College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
