Bethany College Forget conformity! Bethany's academic programs are powered by attentive faculty who challenge students with meaningful curriculum.

💙💛Discover Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. ✨
Founded in 1881, Bethany College is committed to educating, developing, and challenging students to pursue truth and excellence while leading lives grounded in faith, learning, and service. 💙💛 Founded in 1881 by Swedish-Lutheran immigrants, Bethany College helps students discover their own gifts, talents, skills, abilities, and passions. Find your

path by participating in an active campus life (with more than 50 organizations and athletic programs) that challenges you in both living and learning communities. Engaging experiences in and out of class develop communication and critical thinking skills, which prepare students for successful careers and lives of faith, learning, and service. Bethany's core values of integrity, hospitality, community, servant leadership, and sustainability involve students in something bigger than themselves. Service opportunities abound and groups such as the Green Team and the Advocacy Team involve students in earth-friendly and citizenship initiatives. Bethany's fine arts continue rich histories, including the tenure of painter Birger Sandzén and the longest-running American Messiah performance. Fine arts majors learn to make their passion into careers, and non-majors explore art and music through cocurricular clubs and ensembles. As a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Bethany encourages students to explore and deepen their faiths. Find your spirituality through regular chapel services, campus ministry activities, and guidance and pastoral care from Bethany's campus pastor. Are you ready to find your path?
