Welcome to Bethel University! I am so glad you are visiting our site. I encourage you to take a serious look at the opportunities waiting for you in McKenzie, Tennessee.
As a small Christian college and the only Cumberland Presbyterian affiliated one in the world, we’re proud to offer a unique mix of academic and spiritual growth that truly can’t be found anywhere else. Additionally, we offer a low student- to-teacher ratio, and we provide laptop computers that ensure you always have the tools you need to succeed during your college career. This includes financial assistance too. In fact, all of our students receive some form of financial assistance. The bottom line is we are dedicated to meeting your needs and to providing you with a quality education.
Take a few minutes and explore our web site, and then give us the opportunity to learn more about you. Complete the Request Information section found under the Quick Links at left. Once you share your interests and needs, we will be able to show you specifically how a Bethel education can positively impact your life. Just imagine the possibilities the Lord has for you here!
If you have questions, please contact your admission counselor, or I can assist you. Call us at 731-352-4030. I look forward to helping you begin your Bethel experience!

“There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.”
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalms 19:14.

Hi! I am Jana Higdon, Prospect Coordinator for Enrollment Services. I will assist you with any questions or concerns you might have as a prospective student.
Bethel University is a family centered campus. Everyone here is like family and that’s something you don’t see at most universities. Bethel provides many opportunities for growth. I am proud to be a part of the Bethel University team!

Hi and welcome to Bethel's website! My name is Chris Esch and I'm the Student Coordinator for Enrollment Services. I process admission applications and all the documentation necessary to the enrollment process. I'm here to make your enrollment process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Bethel University is growing but is still small enough to cultivate those important student/teacher relationships. You will find that our faculty truly cares about our students and wants them to succeed!
If you're seeking a christian school with a small-town atmosphere, you have come to the right place! Hope to see you soon!
"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels” (Proverbs 1:5). When looking into universities, I know you are faced with many options. Each of you will have different needs and desires for your education and your college life, but I know you will find that Bethel has something for everyone. As an alumnus, I know the options firsthand—from the student life activities to the organizations/clubs to sports (school teams and intramural) to people who will become lifelong friends.
I found that every professor knew me by name and genuinely cared about my goals and my success. I made friendships for life and found that perfect balance between the social and academic communities.
God has played a key role in bringing me back to Bethel University where I am now in a position to help you and others like you get the education you need for the success you want. I am thankful for and excited about the opportunities before all of us!
Barbara de Angelis says, “No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.” This statement holds true at Bethel University, and I hope you give us the chance to make you feel at home with a first-rate education in our small-town atmosphere. Welcome to Bethel University!
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

Welcome to the Bethel University website. My name is Carolina Marulanda and I am so glad you decided to check us out. Bethel University is an amazing place where you can find diversity. At Bethel you can enjoy the benefits of attending a small university in which you count and still be surrounded with people from such diverse backgrounds. As a former international Bethel student, I can tell you that was the case for me. It was very significant for me to be part of a community in which the faculty and staff actually knew my name and were aware of my needs as an international student. Leaving your home country is not easy, but be assured that Bethel will become your home away from home. You will have the opportunity of meeting people from all over the US as well as from over 20 different countries. Working as the International Enrollment Counselor, I will assist you during your enrollment process. Bethel was the right place for me; I pray that it is the right place for you too.
