Superior. Affordable. Catholic.
Caring for the sick is a hallmark of Benedictine values. In fact, modern nursing can trace its roots (in part) to hospitals run by Benedictine abbeys during the Middle Ages. In keeping with that tradition, Belmont Abbey College’s Nursing programs provide a holistic approach that integrates medical discipline with a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences and Catholic health care ethics.
The baccalaureate degree program in nursing and the master’s degree program in nursing at Belmont Abbey College are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (www.ccneaccreditation.org).
