The Place to Be

That is a bold claim, but these are exciting days at Bethel College. What is happening here is momentous. Bethel has been transformed before the eyes of our students and alumni. Always a small but solid Christian college of the arts and sciences, Bethel has emerged as a strong, progressive, and dynamic regional campus. Few colleges have experienced Bethel's pace of progress and excitement since 1990. Here is just a bit of what has happened at Bethel this decade.

ENROLLMENT GROWTH

Bethel has grown from 550 students in 1989 to over 2,000 this fall.

We are a challenging academic community with a gifted faculty and a strong student body. Students are challenged and stretched in the classroom by their peers and professors.

SPIRITUAL VITALITY

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE

Bethel's athletic teams have won 20 National Championships since 1990. Almost every major sport has seen a championship won. Bethel has even won national cheerleading and dodge ball (yes, dodge ball) championships. Bethel offers the opportunities and facilities to compete in collegiate athletics, intramural competitions, or even some one-on-one with friends.
