Here, discovery and collaboration come together—hallmarks of a Bethany College education that challenge and develop the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.”

Today, throughout Kansas and across the nation, communities are served with compassion and dignity by Bethany alumni who began their journey here. In McPherson and Saline County alone, over two dozen health care professionals began their educational journey at Bethany College.”
