BUILD Program

At Bethel, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore their passions, discover their purpose, and fulfill their God-given potential.

The BUILD program is a Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary (CTP) program for students with intellectual disabilities. You'll experience dynamic and encouraging instruction, career-oriented curriculum, specialized mentorship, and on-campus living—all within a supportive Christian environment.

Create the future you want.

When you graduate from the BUILD program, you'll leave campus with:

A Certificate of Applied Studies with a career pathway in arts and communication, business, or human services
Increased independence and self-determination skills
Internship experience that prepares you for future employment
Better social skills and confidence after having an integrated campus experience
A foundation for lifelong learning

Academics

You'll receive a two-year certificate upon successful completion of required core courses, internships, and electives.

Between scholarships, state grants, and vocational rehabilitation benefits, you have options when it comes to paying for school—and our team is here to support you every step of the way.
