International Students

Bethel University is a vibrant, Christ-centered educational community. Our students bring unique backgrounds and interests, but share a common goal: to become whole and holy persons. It's a transformational journey-working hard in our studies, growing deeper in faith, and serving our community.

Nearly 3,000 undergraduate students live, work, and worship together on our 245-acre main campus, which is just 20 minutes from the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
