From its humble beginnings as a seminary, Bethel has evolved to meet the changing needs of students and society, offering adult learners numerous opportunities to take the next step in their lives. Whether you want to finish your education, pursue a new field, or seek promotions or leadership opportunities, you’ll find a supportive community where you belong—a community that will support you every step of the way.
Along with our amazing early college and traditional undergraduate programs, you’ll find graduate, adult undergraduate, and seminary opportunities that prepare professionals for meaningful work in their careers and communities. Our programs are designed to fit the lives of busy working adults and equip them to take the next step in their lives. And in our vibrant community, students find numerous support systems to uncover their potential and ensure their success.
With programs in healthcare, social work, counseling/therapy, business, leadership, education, special education, and more, Bethel offers students numerous pathways to propel their lives forward and make an impact. Our healthcare programs are known across the region for preparing professionals who stand out for displaying strong values, ethics, and holistic care. And our education programs—including Ed.D. programs for higher education and K-12 leadership—prepare administrators and leaders who serve and lead schools and colleges across the country.
And we’re continually growing to meet the needs of our students. In 2023, we opened a new 5,585-square-foot lab to accept more students in our post-baccalaureate nursing program, which offers an accelerated path to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing for students with a prior bachelor’s degree.
All our programs are led by skilled, caring professors who know their students by name and invest in their success. While graduate and adult undergraduate programs welcome students from all backgrounds, our professors teach from a Christian worldview, which models how students can use their beliefs and values to fuel their work.
Because Bethel University remains not just a place to earn a degree—it’s a place to discover your purpose and become who you are called to be. You’ll be prepared to serve with intelligence, strength, joy, and creativity—no matter your field.
