As you consider all that a bachelor’s degree can mean for your personal and professional development, choosing where to complete this degree can change the very terms of the question.
Now is the time to explore what sets Belmont Abbey College apart:
- Belmont Abbey recognizes the need for a flexible online program that meets the needs of busy professionals without sacrificing access to instructors or collaborative opportunities with peers. In the words of alumna Catherine Barber ‘15: “Being virtual has its perks, as communication between professors and other peers is spot-on. I could email instructors regarding any matters, and they were always quick to respond. They helped clarify instructions or give further insight into lectures when needed.”
- We also emphasize affordability and value, respecting the time, energy, and dedication it takes to invest in your future by completing your degree.
- Generations of Belmont Abbey alumni continue to excel in a profound variety of fields and leadership roles. You will find Abbey alums among congressmen and politicians, business executives, academics, priests and religious, and professionals in all industries, from motorsports to agriculture and finance to tech development.
- The Abbey offers an Interdisciplinary Studies program that leverages the classes you’ve already completed and the experience you’ve gained. Since education never occurs in isolation, interdisciplinary studies ensures that nothing is wasted, recognizing that education builds on and with all that we are.
- Belmont Abbey offers programs built not only on a century and a half of excellence and virtue in liberal arts education in North Carolina but also on a millennium and a half of Benedictine commitment to the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.
- This is more than a nod to institutional heredity. Its roots continue to nourish and sustain our work and our community to this day. The monastic community of Belmont Abbey remains at the heart of campus and actively participates in college life, with our monks serving as chaplains, professors, staff, and leadership throughout the history of the college and up to the present day.
- To generations of steadfast wisdom and faithfulness to the Benedictine tradition we unite the responsive expertise of faculty – both monks and laypeople – who remain active in their dynamic fields of inquiry, embracing the lifelong learning which is the fruit of liberal arts education.
- Our faculty, moreover, are consistently recognized by US News and World Report for their excellence in undergraduate teaching – which is a testament to the fact that Abbey professors bring an exceptional knowledge of their field to an authentic teaching vocation. While they continue to publish papers, engage in research, and exercise leadership within professional conferences and associations, they maintain the essential priority of teaching at Belmont Abbey College.
- In each program and each course, Belmont Abbey strives to recognize the full person: body, mind, and soul. We recognize that you are more than the knowledge and the skills you need to excel – and we are fully committed to developing these not for their own sakes but for the greater excellence and virtue they will mean for your personal and professional life.
- Ultimately, a Belmont Abbey education remains grounded in the rich Benedictine liberal arts tradition, with the hallmarks of stability, stewardship, community, hospitality, prayer, humility, obedience, discipline, conversatio, and love informing all that we offer and all that we do. An education rooted in these principles is one that sustains a clear and profound vision of the world, our place in it, and our relationships with ourselves, others, and God. While a Belmont Abbey education certainly provides an exceptional formation in your chosen field, it also invites you to embrace your personal calling in ways that can genuinely transform your life.
