Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This index doesn’t consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Bethel University
Overall Rating:
If you're not white, wealthy, straight, or a "Christ-follower" you'll probably have a hard time finding your people in this place. But if you're not white, wealthy, straight, or a "Christ-follower," and if you are brave, come to Bethel, share your perspectives, help burst the "Bethel bubble." Caring professors and a beautiful nature trail will be there for you along the way.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I have a couple friends from there and that’s about it! Profs are sweet and care but counseling and Human Resources people don’t care about you if you have a problem. Fix the problem not move it. Not a fan of this place and will not ever recommend it.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™way to pretentious, there are some blue collar people there who are not but most students are and have been al0ways. i actually knew a inner city poor total punk guy there, he was the only guy willing to help me when i needed help with a certain important thing.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Love this place! My husband and I are both graduates, and we were so well-prepared for our life and careers...spiritually, socially, and vocationally. Some of our best friends and favorite memories came from this special place, and we're thrilled to see all the ways Bethel continues to improve and expand.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Pretty campus, especially for its urban setting. Parking can be a challenge depending on where you are going, as there are really two main lots on either end of campus. We were there for a piano event, and thankfully the event had a decent number of signs up. It would have been confusing to find the location if not.
