The Campus-Based Business Program provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to create and run a variety of retail businesses on campus. This program gives students the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in managing a small business. Approximately 3,400 square feet of prime retail space has been set aside by Belmont University for students to use to develop retail or services businesses. Currently, we have 2 businesses operating in this space.
