Founded in 1971, Belmont College is one of 23 community colleges in the University System of Ohio. The College’s mission to provide affordable, achievable, and meaningful academic degrees and technical training is reflected in the more than 40 associate degree and certificate programs designed to serve area citizens. Belmont provides a comprehensive array of credit and non-credit programming at the Main Campus in St. Clairsville, Ohio to meet the training and educational needs of the Ohio Valley.  To better serve all our students, online programming has grown tremendously at Belmont.  Currently, the College is pleased to offer an array of continuous learning opportunities to all who seek them.

Today, Belmont offers certificate and degree programs in business, allied health, early childhood education, public safety, industrial technologies, and engineering technologies.  The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees allow students to immediately seek employment or transfer their credits towards a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions.  The College’s Building Preservation and Restoration program is one of the few in the country to offer such specialized training to the construction market. Some of the fastest growing career fields in nursing, health care assistants and information systems employ Belmont College graduates.  In addition, the Workforce Development and Community Education Department fills a much needed role by offering classes to those seeking training without the extended time commitment of degree completion.  Popular offerings include Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR), Pharmacy Technician, Real Estate License, and State Tested Nursing Aide (STNA). This request for qualifications focuses on our expanding needs in the Industrial Trades.
