HOME TO MORE THAN 1,400 STUDENTS
Belmont Abbey College is a small, Catholic, Benedictine liberal arts institution. We find our center in Jesus Christ, and believe in the development of the whole person—in mind, body and spirit.
Our mission is to provide an education that will enable our students to lead lives of integrity, succeed professionally, become responsible citizens and be a blessing to themselves and others.
A 1,500 YEAR OLD TRADITION
EXPERIENCE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
Founded in 1876 by Benedictine monks we continue to celebrate the 1,500-year-old Benedictine monastic tradition of prayer and learning. Though we are founded on our Catholic, Benedictine traditions we welcome a diverse body of students regardless of religious affiliation.
Located just 10 miles west of Charlotte, NC, Belmont Abbey College is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Abbey is the only Catholic college between northern Virginia and Florida.
We invite you to explore our website, visit our campus and join the Belmont Abbey College family.
