Angela

I'm taking business online with Bethel and overall I give them four stars out of five. Mainly because for an online program my are strict on do dates. And do not offer much in extra school activities. But with that begin said They are very supportive and available almost 24 hrs 7 days a week. Teachers and support staff really make Bethel worth they money.

Kayla

Bethel University is a great 4-year private college to attend. My sister will be beginning college at Bethel during the Fall of 2019. We are coming in on a softball scholarship and are very excited to finally attend! It is full of activities going on, even when there is not sporting events going on. All of the sports programs are also having an amazing year.
