How religious is Belmont University?

There is a certain number of convo credits that have to be filled in “faith development,” regardless of whether or not the student is religious. The other categories, if you’re interested, are

Academic Lecture
Culture and Arts
Personal/Professional Growth
Community Service
Amateur Bullfighting/Misc. Extreme Sports
Elective

The elective component is filled by whatever run-off/roll-over comes from filled categories. For example, if you need 10 faith development credits and you get 12, 2 will go straight to elective.

So far only three students have been injured in fulfilling the Amateur Bullfighting requirements. All are expected to graduate on time.

**Concerned parents/students, please note that I am kidding about the Amateur Bullfighting and Misc. Extreme Sports. No such category exists for convocation.
