Beloit College is a private liberal arts college in Beloit, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1846 when Wisconsin was still a territory, it is the state's oldest continuously operated college. It has an enrollment of roughly 1,000 undergraduate students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 67% graduation rate is notably below the national average for four-year colleges, meaning roughly one in three students who start don't finish — worth asking about directly. That said, at an average net price of $21,924/year and median debt of just $22,773 at graduation, the financial burden is manageable, especially for students drawn to a tight-knit, discussion-driven liberal arts experience with only 900 undergrads. Worth considering if you thrive in small, intellectually engaged communities and have a clear reason for choosing a liberal arts path — but look hard at fit and support resources before committing.
