Bethel educates and energizes individuals to grow into whole leaders who own their faith, step into the world with boldness and confidence, and act with integrity as they answer God’s call to do and be more.

With more than 100 academic programs across four college levels—traditional undergraduate, adult undergraduate, graduate, and seminary—we are one of the most comprehensive, interdenominational Christian universities in the nation. Many programs, especially in our adult undergrad, grad school, and seminary, are completed in flexible online learning environments. 

Bethel’s Mission: Boldly informed and motivated by the Christian faith, Bethel University educates and energizes men and women for excellence in leadership, scholarship, and service. We prepare graduates to serve in strategic capacities to renew minds, live out biblical truth, transform culture, and advance the gospel.

Bethel’s Vision: Bethel will be the Christ-centered university of choice for this century.  Rooted in faith. Committed to excellence. Bethel will become the leader in Christian higher education by building stronger communities, equipping confident leaders and gracious servants, and preparing passionate world-changers. Through our thoughts, words, and actions, we’ll demonstrate what it means for a university to be centered on Jesus Christ.

Our Office of Military and Veteran Services (OMVS) provides the one-on-one support to help all military-affiliated students utilize their military benefits, succeed academically, and connect with our community as they grow into world leaders. Along with help navigating military benefits, we are a bridge between military dependents, spouses, veterans, and active-duty service members to the broader Bethel community. 

We help with the transition to college as military-affiliated students and their families navigate their unique needs and challenges of their educational experiences. On campus, OMVS has hosted send-off and welcome-home celebrations for soldiers, held Veterans Day Chapel services, included a color guard at home football games, held student meet and greet gatherings on campus, and facilitated efforts to help staff and faculty learn about the ethos of the military.

And our College of Adult & Professional Studies offers a special military tuition rate of $250 per credit to currently-serving members of the military, which matches the Department of Defense’s Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) for currently-serving military members’ tuition and means you can explore a Bethel education at a very low cost.
