Here we’ve outlined some facts behind the sticker price of annual
tuition to show that Bethel can be affordable—and a great value.
Consider total cost.
How many years will it take your student to graduate?
About 70 percent of Bethel students graduate in four years—compared with just 37 percent at the best state school in our region. In fact, it takes six years for the vast majority of state college students to finish.
That means Bethel students are finishing two years earlier and have two more years of earning power—and that easily makes up for the difference in total costs.
And how likely is it that you’ll get a job? Well, 96 percent of our 2008 graduates report that they were employed or in graduate school six months after their Bethel graduation.
Yes, financial aid is available.
About 93 percent of Bethel students are receiving aid this year (88
percent on getting grants and scholarships they don’t need to repay).
Bethel is actually increasing the total amount of scholarship and grant money that our institution invest in new students beginning in the fall of 2009.
Don’t let financial constraints keep
you from exploring Bethel. In fact, seven out of ten families who look
into financial aid at Bethel end up enrolling.
It’s about value, not just price.
Think about it this way: Who you become in college lasts a lifetime. Your occupation, your character, and your relationship with God are shaped to a great extent during the next few years.
That’s why your choice of school is so important.
Your investment in college involves more than cost. It’s a question of value. At Bethel, the value is in becoming equipped for all of life.
