Bethel College- North Newton

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Bethel College is a private college affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. The college is located on the edge of the Flint Hills and the vast wheat fields of south central Kansas in the town of North Newton. Enrollment at the college hovers around 550 students, earning degrees in 21 different majors in the fine arts and sciences.

Academics

Bethel College's academic program exposes students to three educational traditions: liberal arts, the church, and career preparation. General education courses give basic academic skills, providing a broad understanding of the social and natural world from the perspective of the liberal arts and sciences. Required Bible and religion classes encourage intellectual discussions of ethical perspectives and spiritual values. Focused study in a major field lays the groundwork for vocational success.

Core values

The programs at Bethel College are grounded in four core values. These values are shown in daily routines at this institution. They include, first, an ethic of discipleship, that recognizes Jesus Christ is the Messiah and model for the Christian life and values a high level of commitment and free conviction; next an ethic of scholarship, that believes academic achievement is a logical out-come of intellectual stewardship, valuing discipline and creativity; third, an ethic of service, that believes concern for the powerless is essential to the Christian gospel and emphasizes the importance of peacemaking and volunteering of services; and finally an ethic of integrity, that celebrates the connections between spirit and mind, faith and learning, individual and community, and fosters personal development through participation in a range of activities.

Curriculum

Bethel’s curriculum is founded on a general education program in the liberal arts and sciences and is geared toward students of moderate to high academic ability. Distinctive elements include requirements in the study of religion and a cross-cultural experience. The college offers majors in the traditional liberal arts disciplines and selected career areas and accredited professional programs in nursing, social work, and teacher education. Academic development services are provided to enhance the skills of all students. By design, Bethel’s student profile reflects its church affiliation. At the same time, the college values diversity in its student body and seeks to enroll a variety of individuals desiring high-quality education for the whole person. .
