There are also seven new students with dual citizenship with the U.S. and the countries of the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Canada, Turkey, and Finland.
The class includes 59 students through the Beloit College Commitment, which offers eligible students from eight Wisconsin and Illinois counties around Beloit tuition no more than at their state flagship (University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign). The number of student-athletes from that backyard area — 31 football players, 19 baseball players, and 11 men’s soccer players — doubled since last year.
