Academics

Bethel’s liberal arts tradition is designed to provide you with an education that is not limited to specific skills in a specific field, but incorporates general critical thinking and communication skills. While it’s true you will choose a specific field of study, through Bethel’s Common Ground, you’ll be exposed to a wide range of ideas, in such a way that you’ll come to terms with your own beliefs and opinions. A liberal arts education allows you to enter the professional world with an understanding of the interrelatedness of intellectual pursuits and ethics, learning and faith, research and compassion.
