rapidly growing Belmont Abbey College has built a well-deserved reputation for tenacity on behalf of Catholic principles.<\/p>\n<p>The College has a comprehensive, liberal arts core curriculum including two Catholic theology and two philosophy courses. Its variety of majors include a new nursing program in collaboration with a hospital near campus. All theology professors have a <em>mandatum<\/em> from the local bishop.<\/p>\n<p>About half the students and two-thirds of the faculty are Catholic. Most other students and professors are Christian, given the historically Protestant region.<\/p>\n<p>Spiritual life is centered at the historic Abbey Basilica and includes daily Masses and Confession and Liturgy of the Hours with the monks. Eucharistic adoration is available on weekdays in the St. Joseph Adoration Chapel. Some student residence halls are single-sex\u2014others are separated by suites and floors\u2014and opposite-sex visitation is allowed in student rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Students enjoy a wide variety of clubs and arts performances, and with more than 30 varsity sports teams in the Conference Carolinas of NCAA Division II, there are many athletes. The quaint campus is ideal for study and contemplation, while the surrounding mountains and nearby Charlotte offer plenty of activities.<\/p>\n<p>For all this, Belmont Abbey\u2019s serious and authentically Catholic curriculum and leadership and its virtue-based athletics program make it a strong choice for Catholic families.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What we really like: <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Belmont Abbey\u2019s Great Books Honors College and Hintemeyer Catholic Leadership Program are exciting options for Catholic students. The monks and students from the Charlotte Diocese\u2019s St. Joseph College Seminary greatly contribute to the College\u2019s Catholic identity. And Belmont Abbey is impressively devoted to teaching Christian virtues in its athletics program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
