Our World
When we say that from Beloit you can see the world, we mean that literally: While nearly half of the college’s students study abroad you also can wander through the halls of a dorm and hear a patchwork of languages, from Arabic to French to Cantonese, right here (not surprising when you consider that Beloiters hail from more than 40 countries and that the college is home to one of the country’s premiere summer language programs).
Here, we view international education as a two-way street, a true exchange, and a natural extension of working our liberal-arts muscle. That dedication earned the college a nod from NAFSA, who recently recognized the college with the Senator Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Campus Internationalization.
“There are some things that cannot be formatted in a book or incorporated into a lecture,” says Eric Dunford’10, who spent a semester in Turkey in 2009. “Things that stray far away from the classroom, and that leave you feeling temporarily alone and dispossessed, so that you have to discover something entirely new about yourself.”
Beloit’s unique Cities in Transition program gives students the tools to critically engage their host cities in China, Ecuador, Senegal, 
Nicaragua, and Russia, as well as back home in Beloit.
And so the international becomes personal, through a semester overseas. At Beloit, global awareness permeates every aspect of our lives, from the classroom to the cafeteria.
