Belmont announces the launch of Belmont Online to help individuals advance their career and fulfill their purpose. This new initiative aims to provide accessible and flexible education opportunities, ranging from non-credit bearing certificates to graduate and professional degrees, allowing learners from across the globe to experience the world-class Belmont education from the comfort of home.
Belmont Online is partnering with faculty and industry experts to develop original courses spanning various disciplines including business, nursing, education, music, liberal arts and more. Each online program embodies the same exceptional quality and academic rigor for which Belmont University is renowned, as well as a focus on whole-person formation, developing people of character, purpose, wisdom and transformational mindset. These courses complement existing courses in Belmont Executive Education, which offers synchronous courses and hybrid-learning modalities.
"Whether you want to advance in your current field or explore new opportunities, Belmont Online provides high-quality educational experiences delivered in a flexible and personalized format," said Paula Gill, Vice President for Educational Innovation. “Belmont aspires to be your learning partner for life by developing offerings that provide learners essential knowledge and tools they can immediately apply in the communities in which they work and serve.”
