Belmont Abbey College
Mission Statement:
The mission of Belmont Abbey College is to educate undergraduate students from diverse religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds in the liberal arts tradition as guided by the Catholic intellectual heritage and inspired by the 1500-year-old Benedictine monastic tradition. This heritage is sustained through fidelity to the Christian message as it comes to us through the Church. Such an education provides knowledge of traditional Judeo-Christian moral principles, and prepares students for responsible citizenship and a successful career.
The College also provides preparation in professional studies to enable its students to face successfully the challenges of a changing society, and equip them in directing their own learning, throughout a lifetime. In addition, the College provides quality undergraduate programs for which there is a demand in the local areas served by the College.
In keeping with its Benedictine spirit, the College also provides the local community with educational, religious, artistic and cultural benefits through its tradition of literature, theater, distinguished speakers, scholarly research, library access, athletic events and other outreach services.
