Life Beyond the Classroom
Adult students at Belmont University are undergraduates who are over the age of 24 and are enrolled in one of our Adult Degree programs. Most are working professionals, many are parents, and some are returning later in life to get a degree.
Belmont offers a wide variety of opportunities for adult students that serve to enhance their education and experience. From study abroad opportunities including short-term options, student organizations, internship opportunities, career and professional development, to events and student enrichment programming offered at a wide variety of times including many outside the traditional “school day” timeframe, there are so many ways to get involved.
Career & Professional Development
The Office of Career & Professional Development offers a variety of services to help students with their career planning and development, including career coaching, résumé and cover letter writing assistance, interview skills training, job search assistance, internship placement assistance, networking opportunities, salary negotiation assistance and alumni career services.
Internships
Students in the adult degree program have the opportunity to take part in internships to gain real world experience and important industry connections in their chosen field of study. Students interested in taking part in an internship can work with their academic advisor to learn how an internship might fit into their chosen major.
Study Abroad
As part of its academic mission to engage and transform the world, Belmont University's Office of Study Abroad (OSA) connects undergraduate students from all majors with international study, service and internship opportunities. Students earn Belmont credit towards major, minor or general education requirements on academic year, semester and facutly-led short-term programs.
Events
Belmont offers hundreds of events on campus each semester, including music concerts and theatre performances, sporting events, guest lectures, and social activities just to name a few. These events are held at a wide variety of times, including times outside the typical "school day" which make it easier for our adult students to find events at times that work with their budy schedules.
Fitness & Recreation
Adult degree students have full access to the wide variety of fitness and recreation facilities and activities on campus including weight rooms, gym, group fitness, climbing wall, racquetball court and tennis center.
