Engage with People, Ideas & Pressing Issues that Impact the World
Engaging with people, ideas and pressing issues that impact the world has always been vital to Belmont’s mission. Interdisciplinary Studies & Global Education (ISGE), is Belmont’s hub for interdisciplinary learning and global engagement.
ISGE – home to innovative Belmont Global Honors, disciplines that include global leadership and legal studies, Belmont's nationally ranked Study Abroad program, and more – form an interdisciplinary group of scholars with unique opportunities to explore the complexities of our increasingly interconnected and interdependent world in a Christ-centered, student-focused community of learning and purpose.
Undergraduate Programs
ISGE offers an array of undergraduate experiences, including two interdisciplinary majors and minors, a six-year bachelor’s/juris doctor 3+3 program and a tight-knit Global Honors community that celebrates interdisciplinary inquiry. All of ISGE’s undergraduate programs provide opportunities to undertake original research, pursue internships and engage in study abroad.
Global Engagement
Global engagement is central to Belmont’s mission, and as Belmont’s hub for interdisciplinary studies and global education, we are dedicated to helping our students understand the wider world and their place in it. Through ISGE’s programs, our committed faculty work with our students to engage in global citizenship on the Belmont campus, within the local community and beyond. We also help our students learn to address global problems and promote activities that connect Belmont with the rest of the world.
Career-Developing Experiences
At ISGE we know internships and professional experiences are foundational in preparing students for the workforce and career success after graduation. Through our programs, students can pursue internships through their major, at Belmont USA locations in New York City, Washington D.C., or Los Angeles; or international internships and career-developing experiences through Belmont Abroad or Lumos Travel.
