Graduate School
The mission of Bethel University as a Christian liberal arts institution is incorporated into all facets of programming. The doctoral program is thus constructed in ways that reflect both the Christian and the liberal arts dimensions of the University. Although being a Christian is not a requirement for admission, Christian perspectives will be explored throughout the program. Emphasis will be given to the recognition of ethical problems, sound moral decision making, and the development of moral character. This program is designed for all who are willing to be educated within this environment.
Bethel is a Christian learning community dedicated to impacting today's world. The doctoral program strives to develop leaders in education who will have a great impact on society. Although being a Christian is not a requirement for admission, Christian perspectives will be explored in all aspects of the doctoral program.
As a liberal arts institution accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), Bethel encourages the development of whole persons who are not only technically proficient, but are also capable of dealing with individual and social problems from a breadth of experience and understanding. A liberal arts degree at Bethel is defined not so much by its discipline as by its construction.
