About Bethel University Bethel University has been a leader and model in Christian higher education since 1871, when Swedish American Baptist minister John Alexis Edgren founded the seminary that eventually became Bethel University. Edgren believed that Christians ought to love God with their minds and represent God with excellence in all fields, a conviction that continues to guide Bethel today. In 1914, the Baptist General Conference (now Converge) took on support of the seminary. Following World War II, Bethel began offering four-year degrees to a largely traditional-aged, residential student population. In 2004, Bethel College and Seminary became Bethel University, a change in name that matched the institution's broad and growing scope of academic offerings. Over the past three decades, the University has continued to grow its traditional undergraduate programs while also launching its first graduate programs outside the seminary. Now a thriving liberal arts university, Bethel has deep roots in a pietistic, evangelical Christianity characterized by vibrant faith, devotion to Scripture, and an irenic spirit. With more than 100 areas of study across four schools, it develops broadly educated, critically thinking Christians who know what it means to follow their dreams with a living faith.
