Beloit College, a private liberal arts institution founded in 1846, is situated on a 65-acre campus in Beloit, Wisconsin, approximately 90 miles northwest of Chicago and 45 miles south of Madison. The campus combines historic Prairie School-style architecture with modern academic facilities, featuring the distinctive Middle College building which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As Wisconsin's oldest continuously operating college, Beloit maintains a selective undergraduate admission process and is known for its emphasis on experiential learning, particularly through its anthropology museum and field research programs. The college offers notable programs in anthropology, creative writing, and environmental studies, while requiring students to live on campus for their first three years in traditional residence halls or special-interest housing communities. The campus sits along the Rock River, incorporating both wooded areas and open spaces that connect to the local community.
