The BELL Core, Belmont’s distinctive General Education curriculum, is truly a core—a common intellectual and academic experience shared by every student in every program of study. First-Year Seminar students are challenged to consider the complexities of knowledge and the different ways of knowing. Senior Capstone Seminar students engage in reflection on their years at Belmont as well as their future as a life-long learner. These courses and all of the BELL Core courses in between are designed to challenge, inspire, and prepare students for the future.
Each of the goals of the BELL Core have specific assessment points within the curriculum.
