Why choose Belmont?

The old saying goes, "it's not where you start, it's where you finish." But in reality, where you start largely determines where you finish. Is Belmont a good start for you? To answer that question, you should take the time to get to know us. We think you'll find that starting here will help you end up where you want to be -- which is anywhere you want to go.

Our academics are exceptional
Belmont blends liberal arts with professional education to give you the broad base of knowledge you need to think broadly and critically in all kinds of situations, plus the specialized background you need to accomplish your goals. And we start with a successful faculty -- more than 68 percent hold Ph.D.s or terminal degrees from well-known institutions across the country. Their first priority? Making sure they are the best teachers and mentors they can be.

The importance of values
Our campus life is built around doing and caring. Everyone is active on Belmont's campus, and each student has his or her own set of beliefs, attitudes, and dreams. At Belmont, all of these values have a home in a Christian atmosphere of warmth, acceptance, and possibility.

Through participation in class, co-curricular activities, and spiritual development programs, you will develop core values that make you not only a valuable member of the Belmont community, but a more informed and wiser citizen. These values include respect for others, personal integrity, the capacity to think critically and independently, self-control and self-respect, and responsibility and accountability. Being at Belmont is a life-changing experience in more ways than one -- and with the experiences you'll have here, you can gain the skills to transform your world.
