Bethany Lutheran College offers a number of programs and services designed to assist students in their college careers. For additional information about academic affairs, contact the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Academic Advising
Bethany stresses the importance of the advisor/advisee relationship. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor. The advisor assists the student in selecting courses and planning class schedules each semester as well as with their Baccalaureate planning. Members of the faculty are available to advise students within their own special fields of competence. Students also are encouraged to consult with the Registrar or Vice President for Academic Affairs at any time during the year.

Student Mentoring
Bethany offers to all students a free student mentoring program for help with studies. More information is available here.

Orientation
All new students are required to attend a program of orientation and assessment at the beginning of the school year. The orientation process continues through the seminar format in Freshman Seminar 101 which meets weekly during the fall semester. This class is intended to give new students skills and information which will help them succeed in college. In addition, this seminar seeks to promote an awareness of the purposes of Christian higher education as it relates to student growth and a commitment to life-long learning.

Technology Services

Travel Courses
In addition to the standard curriculum, Bethany offers study tours designed to broaden the student's perspective, deepen understandings, and explore a variety of culturally interesting destinations. Various departments sponsor credit generating travel experiences. These opportunities are an important aspect of a liberal arts education.

Internships
Bethany recognizes the need for students to enhance their classroom learning experiences through participation in internship programs. Part-time or full-time experiences outside of the classroom that are closely related to the student's specific career and academic interests are required for the Communication major. Internships are also encouraged for the Business Administration major and other majors. For more information contact the Internship Program Director.

Military Science (ROTC Program)
The resources and programs of ROTC (U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps) are available to Bethany Lutheran College Students. These resources include scholarships and classes.
