Ellen Hodson of Mt. Morris was among more than half of Belmont University’s undergraduate students named to the fall 2025 semester dean’s list.

About 55% of the university’s 6,934 undergraduate students qualified this semester.

“The high percentage of students earning dean’s list honors reflects more than academic excellence, it reflects who we are becoming together as a Belmont community,” said David Gregory, provost and executive vice president for academic excellence.

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.
