Future students
In choosing to attend Bethel College, you as a student are choosing to join a truly unique community, a community whose strength derives from our four core values:
Push the Envelope – Academic Excellence
You’ll find that your professors and classmates will engage, challenge and inspire you as they join you in an exhilarating pursuit of knowledge and personal fulfillment. Your academic achievements will coincide with personal discovery and development toward wherever your dreams take you.
Connect – Opportunities for Participation
Your education will extend beyond the classroom with activities designed to help you grow emotionally, socially and spiritually, all while enhancing your academic and leadership skills. With nearly 50 clubs and organizations, 14 varsity athletic teams, a variety of fine arts opportunities, forensics and numerous intramural sport options, you have multiple ways to get involved and create lifelong college memories. Opportunities are limited only by your imagination.
Expand Your Circle – Intentional Caring Community
Bethel College’s caring community will challenge you, face-to-face, to excel academically, to think creatively and carefully and to live with integrity. At Bethel College, you’ll find the space and support you need to discover your dreams and embrace old truths.
Live It – Faith-based values
Though Mennonites represent the largest single Christian denomination at Bethel, more than half of our students come from backgrounds other than Mennonite. Bethel College integrates faith and learning, empowering you to view questions and dilemmas from multiple perspectives.
