Belmont University Summary
Belmont University is a private, coeducational, liberal arts university located in Nashville, Tennessee. Approximately 2/3 of entering freshmen eventually graduate from Belmont, and approximately 1/3 of entering freshmen eventually transfer out of Belmont. In addition to the music and music business programs, Belmont offers a full range of majors and programs that extend outside of class. Besides having three professional quality recording studios on campus, Belmont owns The Belmont Studios (formerly known as Ocean Way Nashville), part of which is operated for-profit (for the likes of Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, and Bob Seger), and part of which is used by students. Belmont also operates historic RCA Studio B (formerly used by Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Dolly Parton), in conjunction with the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Curb Family Foundation. In addition, the music business program operates Belmont West and Belmont East, which enable students to spend a semester learning about and interning in the entertainment industries in Los Angeles and New York City, respectively. Belmont’s best-known supporters include Mike Curb (substantial donor/namesake of CEMB and Curb Event Center/founder and head of Curb Records), Jack C. In 2005 Belmont’s Board of Trustees sought to remove Belmont University from the control of the Tennessee Baptist Convention while remaining in a “fraternal relationship” with it. In November 2005 The Tennessean reported that the TBC would increase its funding of two other institutions, Union University and Carson-Newman College by the amount previously given to Belmont and Belmont would replace the three percent of its budget that was funded by the TBC; After settlement talks failed, the Tennessee Baptist Convention Executive Board filed a lawsuit on September 29, 2006 against Belmont seeking the return of approximately $58,000,000, a lawsuit that was still pending as of December 2006. Belmont also houses the Curb Event Center, a 5000-seat multi-purpose arena, which is used for basketball games, concerts, and other events like the 2006 and 2007 CMT Awards, and potentially the 2008 Presidential Debate. In 2007, Belmont won the Atlantic Sun Conference championship for the second year in a row, defeating East Tennessee State University in Johnson City 94-67.
