Make a Difference

The sciences at Bethany are a place to develop your talents in communication, critical thinking, and creativity –  skills highly valued by employers in this lucrative field.

Whether your specialty is computation and algorithms, the patterns and structures of math, chemical reactions, or life systems, Bethany professors are here to offer personal guidance and to help sort through major and graduate school options.  

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.
