These programs, already leading programs for the college for residential and commuter students, will now be fully accessible online. The Abbey Online program now brings an education in the Catholic liberal arts tradition to students seeking the greatest in flexibility without sacrificing quality.
“With Abbey Online we can now serve students who due to COVID or other challenges couldn’t move to Belmont to experience the Abbey in person,” said Dr. Feezell, provost of Belmont Abbey College. “We’re excited to reach those students at a price, and a flexibility that meets their needs.” The online degree programs are significantly less than in-person instruction at $349 a credit hour, and the online aspect gives those students the ability to manage their degree and their studies as they wish.
Beginning Fall 2021, Abbey Online students can experience Belmont Abbey College’s unique, personalized, experience to undergraduate students from the comfort of their home. Belmont Abbey College is seeking authorization to offer online programs to students in all U.S. states and territories.
