Belmont University
Consideration

The Belmont University Honors Program is highly competitive, admitting only 54 students each year. Candidates for the Honors program usually earn a  score of 1260 or higher on the SAT or 28 or higher on the ACT, exhibit academic excellence in high school and normally graduate in the top 10 percent of their class. They are superior writers as determined by a writing sample, and possess creativity, curiosity, introspection, and perseverance.


What we look for


Have the Potential for Superior Academic and Creative Performance. The Belmont Honors students are the stars of tomorrow, reaching that pinnacle not just because of good grades or soaring SAT scores but because they seek the best in themselves. Guy

Think Creatively. The Belmont Honors Program is a world of ideas, and our students keep reaching for new horizons. The program encourages students to explore the major of their dreams, even if they need to create it! The only limit is a student's ambition.

Enjoy Exploring Interconnections. The Honors Curriculum brings together faculty from across the university to lead team-taught seminars that examine, for example, how scientific knowledge in a society affects its cultural arts, or how social structures shape institutions and beliefs
