opened a department for Scandinavian theological students in the fall of 1871 in the basement of First Swedish Baptist Church in Chicago
starting in 1871. The seminary merged with Bethel Academy in Saint Paul, Minnesota
in 1914. In 1931 the Academy became Bethel Junior College. The addition of a four-year liberal arts college program created Bethel College and Seminary in 1947. The school relocated from St. Paul to Arden Hills, Minnesota
in 1972. Beginning in 2004, the institution changed its name to Bethel University.
The College of Arts & Sciences offers 66 majors (78 including emphases within majors) and 41 minors (42 including emphases within minors).
in a range of fields, including education, nursing, communication, and counseling psychology. At the doctorate level, Bethel confers the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.)
in Educational Administration.
Starting from the Southwest and running to the Northeast the buildings are as follows (with abbreviations in parentheses): Benson Great Hall and Lundquist Community Life Center (CLC), Academic Center (AC), Clauson Fine Arts Center (CC), Hagstrom Student Services Center (HC), and Robertson Physical Education Center (RC).
Two residence halls, Arden Village and Lissner Hall, mostly house sophomores. Both consist of six-person suites; however, Lissner is a single, 4-story building that arranges the suites on floors while Arden Village is a collection of townhomes on both sides of Nelson hall. Lissner is farther from the main buildings than Arden Villiage, but it is the newest residence hall on campus; it was completed in the summer of 2005.
Two residence complexes, North Village and Fountain Terrace, house mostly juniors, although many sophomores live in North Village as well. As apartment-style residence halls, North Village and Fountain Terrace offer a full kitchen in every suite, and suite capacity varies between 3 and 6. North Village is a collection of five buildings formerly used as housing for Bethel Seminary students, and it is located on-campus within walking distance of the academic buildings. Fountain Terrace, meanwhile, is a renovated apartment complex located about two miles (3 km) west of the main campus. For convenience, Bethel runs shuttles between both complexes and the main buildings frequently.
Heritage Hall is a suite-style residence hall that is set up very similar to Lissner Hall, although it is much closer to the academic buildings. It houses juniors and seniors.
Some students also choose to live off-campus.
Construction on the 30 million dollar University Commons project began on May 19, 2007, and was completed in the spring of 2009. The building project was headed by the current Vice President for Campus Services, Bruce Kunkel.
On June 27, 2008, the building was renamed "George K. Brushaber Commons" in commemoration of the recently retired president, George K. Brushaber.
In the summer and fall of 2011, a new admissions guest center was constructed between the Clauson Center building and the Brushaber Commons.
In the last ten years there has been a strong emphasis on study abroad, and Bethel offers programs on every inhabited continent and highly encourages its students to study for a semester or, at least, a January term in some other part of the world.
The consumption of alcohol was previously prohibited by the covenant. As of June 25, 2008 it is allowed when the school year is not in session, with the exception of Bethel University sponsored events.

Main Education Buildings
There are five main education buildings located at the center of Bethel University's main campus in Arden Hills, MN. They run Southwest/Northeast and are connected on the first three floors by weather-protected skyways and tunnels.Starting from the Southwest and running to the Northeast the buildings are as follows (with abbreviations in parentheses): Benson Great Hall and Lundquist Community Life Center (CLC), Academic Center (AC), Clauson Fine Arts Center (CC), Hagstrom Student Services Center (HC), and Robertson Physical Education Center (RC).
Campus Housing
The College of Arts and Sciences has four freshman residence halls on campus. Three -- Bodein Hall, Getsch Hall, and Edgren Hall -- encircle a cul-de-sac just on the south side of the academic buildings and are informally known as Freshman Hill. The fourth, Nelson Hall, is located nearby on the north side of the buildings and is the oldest building on Bethel University's current campus in Arden Hills. All four freshman residence halls (with the exception of six 6-person suites at either end of Nelson Hall) are set up as two-person rooms and have one bathroom per floor per building wing.Two residence halls, Arden Village and Lissner Hall, mostly house sophomores. Both consist of six-person suites; however, Lissner is a single, 4-story building that arranges the suites on floors while Arden Village is a collection of townhomes on both sides of Nelson hall. Lissner is farther from the main buildings than Arden Villiage, but it is the newest residence hall on campus; it was completed in the summer of 2005.
Two residence complexes, North Village and Fountain Terrace, house mostly juniors, although many sophomores live in North Village as well. As apartment-style residence halls, North Village and Fountain Terrace offer a full kitchen in every suite, and suite capacity varies between 3 and 6. North Village is a collection of five buildings formerly used as housing for Bethel Seminary students, and it is located on-campus within walking distance of the academic buildings. Fountain Terrace, meanwhile, is a renovated apartment complex located about two miles (3 km) west of the main campus. For convenience, Bethel runs shuttles between both complexes and the main buildings frequently.
Heritage Hall is a suite-style residence hall that is set up very similar to Lissner Hall, although it is much closer to the academic buildings. It houses juniors and seniors.
Some students also choose to live off-campus.
New University Commons Building
The new Brushaber Commons connects to the main academic buildings at the junction between the Academic Center and Clauson Center. It contains the college bookstore; three new dining options including the Monson Dining Center, the Royal Grounds coffee shop, and the 3900 Grill (an À la carte restaurant to replace the old Market Square); a new board room; office space for the Office of Student Life and the Bethel Student Association; and a brand-new admissions guest center.Construction on the 30 million dollar University Commons project began on May 19, 2007, and was completed in the spring of 2009. The building project was headed by the current Vice President for Campus Services, Bruce Kunkel.
On June 27, 2008, the building was renamed "George K. Brushaber Commons" in commemoration of the recently retired president, George K. Brushaber.
In the summer and fall of 2011, a new admissions guest center was constructed between the Clauson Center building and the Brushaber Commons.
Academics
Bethel University offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. It regularly achieves good ranks in the US News and World Reports. Undergraduates leave Bethel for positions in industry, nursing, business, social service, community organizations, and many other fields. Graduates have gone to excel at top graduate schools in the United States, including Yale, Princeton, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago and many others .In the last ten years there has been a strong emphasis on study abroad, and Bethel offers programs on every inhabited continent and highly encourages its students to study for a semester or, at least, a January term in some other part of the world.
The Covenant
All full-time students in the College of Arts and Sciences are expected to abide by the Covenant for Life Together. This lifestyle agreement focuses on living a Christian life of personal morality, which includes a respect for all persons and ethnic traditions, refraining from extramarital sex, gambling, illegal drugs, and tobacco in any form. It also states Bethel students should live a biblical lifestyle, which would mean staying away from gossip and gluttony. The goal of the Covenant is to build a community of faith and learning centered around common values.The consumption of alcohol was previously prohibited by the covenant. As of June 25, 2008 it is allowed when the school year is not in session, with the exception of Bethel University sponsored events.
Reconciliation
Over the last decade Bethel University has embraced a call to Biblical Reconciliation. The ministry of reconciliation is dedicated to breaking down social divisions and barriers in order to bring people together, encouraging them to embrace their common bond of humanity rather than emphasizing the differences between them. In the case of Bethel this especially refers to the idea of racial reconciliation. Initially, the push toward reconciliation arose as a reaction to racially charged incidents that happened in the 2002-2003 school year. Since that time Bethel University has made great strides towards reconciliation. These include creating a Major in Reconciliation Studies housed in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. Additionally, the University has created the Bethel Anti-Racism and Reconciliation Commission (BAARC) using materials and processes developed by the Minnesota Collaborative Anti-Racism Initiative(MCARI). The University has also sought to emphasize this issue through its core value statements, describing the biblical qualities of disciples of Jesus. The seventh of the core values reads: "We are reconcilers— honoring the worth and dignity of people from all races and purposely seeking to create a community that reflects the diversity of the Body of Christ."Student Publications
Bethel University has three student publications, The Clarion, the Coeval, and the Bethel Table Tent.- The Clarion is a biweekly newspaper run by paid students. During the 2006-2007 School Year, the Clarion was a weekly publication, but went back to the biweekly schedule for the 2007-2008 school year.
- The Coeval is Bethel's bi-annual fine arts journal, publishing fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and other forms of text, such as geometrical proofs, political persuasion, and business plans—if they are interesting. Coeval prints artworks as well.
- The Bethel Table Tent is a weekly publication placed on the tables in Bethel's Dining Center and Market Square. It usually contains upcoming Bethel Student Association events, random facts, polls, quotes, and satirical articles. After a two year absence, The Table Tent resumed in October 2007.
