Belmont Abbey College, Charlotte - Belmont, NC - Admissions - Liberal Arts:Catholic Benedictine heritage

Thank you for your interest in Belmont Abbey College. An Abbey education, grounded in the liberal arts, teaches a person how to search their own soul for the truth. This combined with the specialized work that each student does in their major discipline and in a variety of co-curricular activities equips an Abbey graduate to succeed in life, be a happy and moral person, and become an informed citizen.

The Catholic Benedictine traditions and values upon which the College was founded over 130 years ago informs all aspects of campus life, including academics. Benedictine monks take three vows: stabilitas, conversatio morum, and obedientia which when translated simply mean stability, being amenable to change and improvement, and listening. Belmont Abbey College provides a stable environment in which to listen, discuss and learn, to grow, and become open to change.
