Belmont Abbey College Strategic Plan 2030
The strategic plan, titled "Love in Truth," outlines Belmont Abbey College's commitment to becoming the leading small Catholic college in the United States by 2030. It is structured around three main goals: securing financial freedom through institutional growth and capital campaigns; restoring the public square and protecting religious liberty by influencing culture and preparing leaders; and rejoicing in truth and love by fostering holistic student success and becoming an employer of choice. The overarching vision is to provide students with knowledge, understanding, and wisdom for a happy life rooted in objective truth and authentic love.
