As one of the “International 50,” Beloit College is recognized as one of the leading colleges in preparing American students for international service, diplomacy, and scholarship.
Our graduates have had many opportunities to practice what they have learned. In the past five years, Beloit students have gone on to graduate programs at Johns Hopkins, George Washington University, Tufts University, the University of Maryland, Oxford, and the University of Iowa Law School. Many have earned doctorate degrees and are in the academic profession.
Others have moved into the business world and are executives in corporations both in the U.S. and overseas. A significant number are in government agencies.

Some have become journalists, among them is a woman who directs the PBS News Hour.
