At Beloit College, we are committed to the success of our students.
Designing Your Own Major or Minor
Students, in consultation with appropriate faculty members, may develop their own major. A self-designed major combines courses from various departments/ programs and independent study projects into a cohesive curriculum of study.
Final approval of these majors rests with the Interdisciplinary Studies Committee. The committee evaluates proposals for majors after they have been approved by the faculty members consenting to serve as major advisors.
Students electing this option may apply as early as their third semester but no later than their fifth semester. Deadline to submit an application is four weeks before the last day of classes if the application is to be acted on that semester.

Student Travel Grants
Beloit College values student research, performance, and other active involvement in off-campus academic conferences and workshops. Thus, students may apply to the office of the Provost and Dean of the College for up to $300 to support such participation. To qualify for the grant, a student must be giving a paper or performance, or participating actively in the academic conference or workshop as a result of a competitive application process.
To apply, please complete the Student Travel Grant Application and submit it by email to Yaffa Grossman, Associate Dean and Registrar (grossman@l9e1.com).
