Academic Programs - Majors, Minors, and Concentrations
The following section describes the academic programs available at Belmont Abbey College and includes courses of study organized as majors, concentrations, and minors. In addition to a broad base in the liberal arts, students focus on a particular discipline, which is called the major. First and second-year courses, numbered 100 to 299, are called lower-level courses, and junior and senior courses numbered 300 to 499, are called upper-level courses.
The programs in which students can major are listed by discipline. Not all discipline departments listed in this Catalogue offer a major, and some free-standing majors are offered within a larger department (e.g., Educational Studies). Those departments offering a minor are also indicated in the descriptions. Students may not minor in the field in which they are majoring.
