Giving you a clear price and a clear path forward

We want you to understand from the beginning what a Bethel education costs. That’s why we repositioned our tuition price for the College of Arts & Sciences to $25,990—down from $44,050—beginning in the 2025-26 academic year.

By repositioning our tuition in the College of Arts & Sciences, we're bringing much-needed transparency to the true cost of attending Bethel. We're pushing back on what has become a confusing industry standard: increasing list prices and providing significant price discounts labeled as scholarships. And we're better aligning with our values and mission.

Now, your tuition rate more accurately reflects what you can expect to pay—empowering you to make informed decisions and pursue your calling with confidence. With a clear price, you can focus on what truly matters: your education and your future.

More than a degree

In our vibrant, Christ-centered community, you’ll get hands-on experience and attention so that you can become who you’re meant to be. As you learn alongside professors and complete top internships, you’ll not only be equipped for a career—you’ll discover how to use your gifts to make a difference.

At Bethel, biology is more than science. It's about exploring creation.

As Eric Puumala ’24 has studied biology, he has gained hands-on experience researching muscular dystrophy with his professors. It's helped him explore how his faith can fuel his future career as a physician.

At Bethel, journalism is more than a career. It's a calling.

For Soraya Keiser ’24, Professor of Journalism Scott Winter has been more than an instructor. He's served as a collaborator on an award-winning documentary. And he's been a mentor as she pursues a career doing what she loves.

At Bethel, music is more than a major. It’s a community.

When Nate Holder ’26 transferred to Bethel, he found something other schools didn’t have—a place to belong. From the beginning, Nate found opportunities to get involved—from singing in Bethel's choir to landing the role of Gaston in Bethel's theatre production of Beauty and the Beast. Through his relationships with professors, staff, and fellow students, he's built a home at Bethel.
