Graduation Rate
Bethel University graduation rate is above the national average.
73% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Bethel University completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
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 indicator doesn’t take into consideration 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 perception. 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.

Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I graduated from here in May 2018. There are some aspects of my college experience that I wouldn't trade for anything! I made amazing friends and grew as a person. However, things became a little messy when I entered my junior year. My major was social work and I ended up getting cut from the program for stupid reasons. One professor in particular did not support me and didn't make any sense in general. The program was SO bad. I just wanted to help people, work with people, and make a difference, but this program was crazy. I talked with the dean about it but nothing happened (Surprise). I then switched my major to Sociocultural Studies, which I don't think even exists anymore. I should have just transferred so I could have at least graduate with something I wanted. Oh, and let's talk about the debt I'm in. I'm in so much debt and I didn't even get the degree I wanted! If your rich, this is a great place for you, but unfortunately I don't come from that background.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™My husband & I graduated from what was then Bethel College & Seminary in 1968. My years there are among the best of my life! We were privileged to sing with the College Choir - the best of the best of my lifetime experiences. I most highly recommend Bethel to anyone trying to select the best college to attend. I especially recommend it to music majors as their music program is outstanding! Bethel is a Christian University with a student body consisting primarily of dedicated Christian young people. As with any Christian school, there are a few students who are sent there by their parents with the hope that the school will straighten them out. Fortunately, these students are few and far between! I can't recommend Bethel highly enough!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I received my BA and my MA from Bethel and can say without a doubt that this University set an amazing trajectory for me in having a successful career. Beyond that, my faith was challenged and deepened. I've continued to build on 20+ years of incredible friendships that began at Bethel. Now, it is a joy for me to see MANY of my peers send their own kids to Bethel and to hear of the ways that they, too, are setting their feet on a firm foundation in faith and in vocational training.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I had an incredible experience in my four years at Bethel. It may cost a lot, but it is a priceless community experience and liberal arts education that makes it worthwhile. (Plus they usually give out scholarships to make it manageable.)
