Why Bethel?

Bethel professors love working with adult undergraduates. They understand the sacrifices you make to be here and the anxiety you might feel returning to the classroom while balancing your busy schedule. Along with your cohort—the small group of students that share all your classes—your professors build a supportive community where you'll have the confidence to meet the challenge and excel.

Our Values

As a Christian university, we bring a deeply held moral and ethical perspective to every degree program. We believe that adults—as much as younger students—benefit from a whole person education, one that develops character and convictions as well as intellect and job skills. In this way, Bethel prepares you to make positive contributions to your workplace and community. We welcome students of all faiths to join our growing college family.
