Belmont Abbey College announces its full accreditation as a Master’s level institution and intentions to increase academic offerings. In the summer of 2021, the private liberal arts college welcomed the first cohort of students in pursuit of a Master in Health Administration after securing initial accreditation authorization from the Southern Association of College and Schools Commissions on Colleges (SACSCOC). Over the next couple of months, a SACSCOC peer review committee evaluated the ongoing compliance with standards and provided their recommendation for full accreditation to the Board of Trustees. This recommendation was recently approved, allowing Belmont Abbey to move forward with strategic plans to offer new masters-level programs.

Honors College Newsletter Fall 2021
Find out what has been going on in the Honors College over the last few months!
Students at Belmont Abbey are sharing God’s love with children around the world this holiday season.
In mid-November, students packed hundreds of shoeboxes with donated supplies such as toys, notebooks, and colored pencils. It’s part of Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child, which sends gifts to kids affected by war, poverty, famine, or natural disasters. The effort at BAC is run by senior Marvellous Okonne, who is from Southern Nigeria and received a shoebox when he was 8 years old.
Small Catholic Colleges Thrive Despite Downward Momentum in College Attendance
In the midst of the pandemic, the downward momentum for many four-year colleges and universities has continued to accelerate. Less than half of current high school students plan to pursue college when they graduate. In contrast, small Catholic colleges have seen an uptick in their numbers during this period of national decline.
