BELMONT — Belmont Abbey College is offering incoming first-year students help to get ready for college life: a free course to jump start their college career. When new students submit their enrollment deposit by March 1, they will automatically qualify for a free summer course preceding their first fall semester.
“With so much in flux these days we thought offering our new incoming first-year students an easy first step would give them a smooth transition to college life,” said Dr.
Travis Feezell, provost. “We also wanted to reward those who are ready to make the commitment, and are ready to start their Abbey career.”
Eligible courses have been selected from the core curriculum and will include Western Civilization I, Rhetoric and Writing, Introduction to Psychology, The American
Constitution, and Introduction to Scripture. By taking a summer course before the beginning of the fall semester, new incoming students will enter their freshman year at least three credits ahead – allowing more flexibility in future terms and potentially shortening the timeline to graduation for some students.
To be eligible, students must apply, be accepted, and then deposit by March 1.
