BELMONT UNIVERSITY BELMONT UNIVERSITY
U.S. News & World Report has praised Belmont for three years running for its environment of innovation. What does that mean you can expect? How about participating in a media studies class taught via Twitter or earning music history credits while studying in France? Belmont is home to a number of unique academic programs that link classroom education with real-life experience. We don’t just follow the trends, we’re leading the way with pioneering interdisciplinary majors like Music Business, New Century Journalism, Social Entrepreneurship and Religion & the Arts.
DESTINATION: NASHVILLE When you choose Belmont, you also become part of the larger community, with all that Music City has to offer. Professional sports teams, live music, museums and a wide range of outdoor activities help Nashville combine small-town charm with big city opportunities. Our status as the state capital means Nashville is a business hub, too, which comes in handy when seeking real-life experience in the way of local internships. And you’ll be in good company as you study in Nashville, with more than 20 colleges and universities located in the area.
BELMONT STUDENTS KNOW THAT LEARNING IS ABOUT MORE THAN FINAL GRADES.
It’s about exploring issues, asking questions and considering other points of view. That’s easier to do with a 13:1 student to faculty ratio. Those numbers mean you’ll benefit from professors and advisors who are available to you and take an active interest in making your college experience the best it can be.
BELMONT STUDENTS WORK HARD, BUT THEY ALSO PLAY HARD. Our beautiful 75-acre campus is packed with opportunities.
Want to get in on the action? Our popular INTRAMURALS PROGRAM includes everything from flag football and basketball to racquetball and water balloon dodgeball.
For those times you just need to unwind, GRAB A FRISBEE, GUITAR OR YOUR LAPTOP AND HIT THE QUAD, a beautifully-landscaped piece of the great outdoors in the heart of the Belmont campus.
There’s always something going on from CAMPUS-WIDE SOCIALS, MOVIE NIGHTS AND CONCERTS to the annual Fall Follies or other events held in the 5,500-SEAT CURB EVENT CENTER.
