Participants remain enrolled at Belmont and can typically apply their financial aid and scholarships. Whether choosing a structured program through a provider or a more independent exchange or direct-enroll option, students gain valuable global perspective. Sophomores and juniors have the greatest flexibility, making this an ideal time to align study abroad with academic goals and personal interests.
Short-Term, Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs

Belmont’s short-term study abroad programs let students experience immersive international travel in anywhere from 1–4 weeks.

Many programs count toward general education/BELL Core requirements, while many are tailored to specific majors or minors. These faculty-led experiences offer a perfect introduction to studying abroad, with built-in support and enriching, credit-bearing adventures.
