Belk College of Business

The Belk College of Business has been driving economic growth in the Charlotte region for over 50 years. With almost 5,000 students, 100 full-time faculty and more than 36,000 alumni, we're one of the Carolinas' largest and most diverse business schools.

March 28-30, we ask our Belk College alumni, family and friends to support our students, faculty and staff by wearing green and championing #BusinessNiner pride during our eighth annual #NinerNationGives, Charlotte’s 49-hour digital giving campaign.

Show us the impact the college has had in your life by supporting our current and future Business Niners during #NinerNationGives. Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of Belk College students.

Thank you, and Go Niners!
