“I work in journalism, and critical thinking skills are essential for brainstorming article topics, asking the right questions during interviews and crafting a narrative that’s both accurate and resonant with our readers. So many things shape how I need to assign, write and edit stories—all things I learned how to see in English classes, like how to take into account the audience, the social context, reader intentions versus author intentions, language, etc.”

“One special thing I got from Belmont was my training - it allowed me to do 8 shows a week as Elphaba in the national tour of “Wicked,” which is extremely difficult, but it’s because I have that classical foundation. I also love that I wasn’t confined to one thing, but was exposed to so much creativity and able to embrace many opportunities.”

“The knowledge and experience I gained through Belmont’s Entrepreneurship program gave me the tools necessary to launch a business and reach heights higher than I could have ever imagined!”

“I knew I wanted to pursue a graduate degree when I got to Belmont. The curriculum and learning processes I was taught at Belmont more than prepared me to be successful at the next level. I was able to do effective scientific research, challenge myself academically, and pursue other interests outside of my major. I feel as if I missed out on no opportunities with my Belmont career.”
