We are Made True.
Belmont Abbey College remains rooted in the Truth at the heart of the Catholic intellectual tradition. Our students and professors daily seek this same Truth in seminars, labs, and lectures across campus, drawing on the very light and hope by which the Benedictine Abbeys of the Middle Ages preserved Western civilization. In this pursuit we embrace the excellence and virtue of our most authentic selves. In it we are Made True by the grace of God.
