A Typical Weekday

Here is a typical weekday without a course excursion.  Keep in mind that “In Classroom / Lab / Fieldwork” at Beloit is more than just sitting in a classroom.  Expect to be creating experiments, sharing your writing, handling artifacts, visiting zoos, and much more.  Think on your feet!

9:00 – 11:30 In Classroom / Lab / Fieldwork with Faculty
11:30 – 1:00 Lunch

A Typical Weekend

We generally will have a trip to a surrounding city on Saturday (Milwaukee, Madison) with both planned and free time in the city.  On Sunday, we typically have an optional local trip and students have free time on campus and time to prepare for the next week.  Did we mention students also have time to sleep-in on the weekends?  Usually they are ready for it by the time Saturday arrives.
