Belmont University's Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine under construction

It’s no secret that Belmont University has been growing ​​rapidly.

Within the past decade, it has seen increasing enrollment (apart from the pandemic-affected 2020), inaugurated a new president, built a fully functional law school, absorbed both Watkins College of Art and O’More College of Design, and constructed residential halls and a major performing arts center. Its main undertaking, however, is the creation of the Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine. (This story’s author attended Belmont but before the establishment of the medical college.)
