Good Value
More Than A Good Value; An Investment In Your Child’s Future.
Affordable Tuition • Financial Aid • Career Ready
Your Student’s Goals Are Within Reach
Bethany is top ranked for social mobility in Minnesota while remaining among the lowest cost of all residential colleges in the state.
Social mobility is the ability to climb the social ladder. Our students get where they want to go when they start at Bethany … and they aren’t shackled with unmanageable debt when they leave to start careers and families.
Let us help you make a great investment.
“When I started in the Mayo PT program, I remember distinctly thinking, ‘This is what Bethany prepared me for, being a witness of my faith in a new setting and pursuing a career that uses my God-given talents.”
The Stakes are High
We’ve all heard the stories of sky high tuition, unmanageable student loans, and worthless degrees.
- Students who overpaid for a degree…or missed a great college experience because they sacrificed programs for affordability.
- Graduates who were shackled to a burden of loans that affected them for the rest of their lives.
- Large college investments that didn’t pay off with job opportunities upon graduation.
At Bethany Lutheran College…
We believe an excellent education and an amazing college experience should be affordable.
How to Make a Great Investment

As a mission-based institution, our goal isn’t to make money. Bethany is among the lowest cost of residential colleges in Minnesota.
