Brazil is a country of enormous diversity and splendor.
It's variety in cultural and physical makeup is unparalleled in Latin America. For these and many other reasons, Brazil offers an amazing opportunity for study by students in many disciplines. The Federal University of Ouro Preto, better known simply as UFOP, in the state of Minas Gerais, hosts the exchange program. The Brazil Exchange program was established in 1993 in response to the rapidly growing demand among Beloit students to study in Latin America, and the rising interest among Brazilians for a liberal arts study experience at Beloit College. Beloit College and the Federal University of Ouro Preto established an exchange agreement that covers student and faculty exchanges in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
