About

Bethel University is located on a 247-acre lakeside campus in Arden Hills, Minnesota, just 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. Near the heart of the Twin Cities, our safe and secure campus is surrounded by woods and water—offering a peaceful setting while staying closely connected to numerous opportunities. Admission requirements at Bethel University vary by program and student type, but all applicants complete an application and submit academic transcripts. Undergraduate applicants typically provide high school transcripts. Standardized test scores like the ACT and SAT are optional. Bethel uses a holistic admissions process that considers academic preparation, personal character, and readiness to grow in a Christ-guided community. (Source: https://www.bethel.edu/)
