Testimonial

"Our students are progressive, digital natives. Many of them were born after the advent of the Internet and thus live, learn, and work in a world that is increasingly digital. Bethel's School of University Studies provides additional freedom and choice in a learning format that our students demand. I am excited to be a part of such a dynamic learning medium."
