Transform the world through design

At the O'More College of Architecture & Design, students in architecture, interior design, fashion design and fashion business learn to make things that matter — buildings, spaces and clothes that shape how people live. We nurture a community where students discover their gifts through rigorous, hands-on training and become agents of positive change in their communities and around the world.

Curricula blend traditional craft with cutting-edge technology, and Belmont's Christian heritage of learning and service shapes graduates equipped for both their careers and a life of purpose.
