Visit us
Schedule a personal that works best for you. Visits are available Mondays through Fridays, starting from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. The most in-depth experiences happen while Bethany's classes are in session, but we love having guests all year long!
Chapel (optional) is at 10:00 am, you are welcome to be our guest for lunch, and the typical visit is two hours, so consider those items in your planning. Saturday open houses are another way to experience Bethany's campus.
Visit Bethany!
Bethany allowed me to pursue everything I was interested in. I was on the softball team, involved in SLS, psychology club, and SAAC, all while completing two majors.
