Belmont University released the Dean’s List for the spring 2026 semester, with approximately 49% of the University’s 6,724 undergraduate students earning the academic recognition.

Through their academic pursuits, their emerging impact on industry and their contributions to our campus community, Belmont students are rising to meet the moment. Their drive, focus and achievements – academic, professional and personal – demonstrate what is possible in a community committed to opportunity, innovation and the flourishing of every student.”

Dean’s List eligibility is based on a minimum course load of 12 hours and a quality grade point average of 3.5 with no grade below a C.
