Recent additions to campus reflect the University’s academic emphasis on a liberal arts core curriculum surrounded by competitive graduate and professional schools.  The state-of-the-art Norton Health Science Center and a Service Learning Clinic offer real-life, hands-on experience for nursing and physical therapy students, while the campus library houses the largest collection of works by and about internationally-renowned author and Trappist monk Thomas Merton. 

With over 50 clubs and organizations on campus and 18 NCAA Division II athletic teams, Bellarmine offers a variety of recreational opportunities for all students.  Beginning in 2004-05 Bellarmine will field a Division I men’s lacrosse team. Countless internships and study abroad programs offer additional opportunities for students to expand their horizons outside the classroom.

Students living on campus will also find a Bellarmine difference, namely the options with regard to living arrangements. From the traditional college residence hall layout to apartment-style and suite living arrangements, students have many housing options.  All residence halls offer amenities such as laundry facilities, computer labs, study rooms and air conditioning.
