Almost all Bethel seniors apply classroom lessons and gain experience through high-impact practices like internships, research, service learning, and more.
Study abroad and mission trips provide opportunities to study and serve in spots around the world and learn about cultures by experiencing them for yourself. With 600+ semester, January session, and summer programs to choose from, far more Bethel students study abroad than the national average.
Early college and summer courses offer opportunities to jumpstart your undergraduate degree—and your career.
