ENGAGEMENT

Students are also strongly encouraged “to engage and transform the world” both in far-flung regions and right here in Nashville. Study abroad programs offer extended visits to places all around the globe, including Cambodia, Guatemala, London, China, Italy, South Africa and more. While overseas, students participate in intensive studies of wideranging topics, meeting a variety of interests and providing opportunities for engagement with different cultures regardless of a student’s specific major.

Meanwhile, an emphasis on community service is ingrained in every part of campus. From Welcome Week’s new student SERVE project to classsponsored service-learning events to the spring Family Literacy Day to international missions, Belmont students are provided countless opportunities to discover and aid communities near and far.
