Beloit college, a liberal arts college founded on the wisconsin frontier in 1846, was born out of a belief that a particular brand of education could energize and transform lives, and by extension, the world. Beloit continues to believe this and delivers it through a "liberal arts in practice" curriculum that engages students in an exploration of ideas, compels students to deeply know their subjects, and requires them to demonstrate that they do. That focus, on providing a rigorous and rewarding education and preparation, has long set the college and its students apart. During the 2013-14 academic year, the college served 1,306 students, from 34 countries, 48 states and the district of columbia. Courses were offered in fall, spring and summer sessions. Educational services were provided both domestically and through study abroad programs. The college graduated 282 students during the year while providing financial assistance to approximately 1,200 students. Hailed as one of 40 "colleges that change lives" by former new york times education editor, loren pope, beloit offers students access to more than 50 academic programs, more than 50 student clubs, 18 varsity sports, and countless other opportunities that range from hands-on field and internship experiences both locally and globally, to college funded student business startups.
