STEM at Bethany

High school students are welcome at Bethany to explore the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Sign up for a daily tour and professor chat, set up a class group experience, or join us for one of the special experiences detailed below.

STEM students appreciate that, at Bethany:

  • Learning is hands-on and interactive.
  • The Mankato community provides a safe environment for exploring STEM-related internships and employment opportunities at companies like Kato Cable, among others.
  • High school dual credits typically transfer, meaning entering the workforce or graduate school could be possible in three to four years.
