Bring your interests — we’ll provide opportunities with impact

Beloiters have many opportunities to learn from and work with the local Beloit community, from internships to collecting local histories. Beloit is positioned to help students prepare for meaningful lives after college. Beloit students graduate ahead of the game: knowing how to learn, grow, and succeed throughout their lives.

We achieve this through Impact Beloit, our initiative that ensures career exploration and readiness are integrated throughout the curriculum and student experience.

This means there are plenty of opportunities for you to learn professional skills and prepare for your own career, often working with our local community organizations and businesses.
