Admissions Policy
In accordance with our mission to prepare students spiritually, practically, and academically for professional and lay ministry, Bethel College's requirements for admission take into account each prospective student's relationship with Christ and His Church, calling to ministry, commitment to Christian service, and
scholastic aptitude for postsecondary education. The application process requires the submission of documentation demonstrating the applicant's suitability/aptitude in each of these areas.

While maintaining high standards for admission to Bethel College, our admissions policy does not discriminate between prospective students based on race, color, nationality, ethnic origin, or gender. Bethel College does not discriminate against disabled persons who are otherwise eligible for admission to the university. Furthermore, all students granted admission have the right to participate in all programs and activities available to the student body.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for the fall, winter, spring, and summer semesters, and are accepted as early as 12 months before the requested entry semester. To allow adequate time for processing, all applications must be submitted at least one month prior to the beginning of official registration. All applications should be directed to the admission office. Once Bethel College receives and processes an application, notification of status will be sent to the student. If accepted, the student will also receive an enrollment packet which will include additional required information for enrollment and registration.
