If you like the idea of spending three weeks on one of the nation’s oldest and finest liberal arts campuses, engaging with award-winning faculty, learning on your feet (and in your seat), while living with, and getting to know, a small group of students with similar passions and interests, you should apply today.

Students are admitted based on the strength of their personal essay, recommendation letter, and a review of their submitted high school transcript. Though admission is competitive, the committee reviewing applications will prefer candidates with a keen and demonstrated interest in the program over those with only a sterling GPA and transcript.

We are currently accepting applications on a space-available basis.  We start accepting students into the program on a rolling basis in January, so we advise you to submit your applications early.

The application process includes the following steps:

  • Choose the Summer Fields course you want to take
  • Ask your guidance counselor to send an official transcript to:

    Beloit College
    Office of Summer Programs, Box 218
    700 College St.
    Beloit, WI 53511

  • Fill out our online application  which includes general information, a personal essay and a request for a teacher to fill out an online recommendation.  You will be asked to create a log-in and password so you can save and return to your application.

  • Pay your nonrefundable application fee of $35 using our online form or by sending a check or money order to the Office of Summer Programs along with a note indicating the student's name and the course he or she is applying for.

  • Complete the financial assistance form if you are applying for financial assistance and return it to the Office of Summer Programs by April 30, 2013.

If you have any questions about the application process, please feel free to contact us.
