Consortium Programs

Through its membership in the Northern Indiana Consortium for Education (NICE), Bethel University offers certain courses and, in some cases, majors in cooperation with other local universitys and universities. Cross-registration between Bethel University and the other universitys is permitted on a space-available basis. Using Bethel as the “home base,” students taking 12 or more hours of Bethel University courses can select courses from the other universitys to alleviate scheduling problems. NICE classes may not be taken by Private Tutorial or Independent Study. Other members of the consortium are Goshen College, Holy Cross Junior College, Indiana University at South Bend, Ivy Tech State College, St. Mary’s College and Purdue University College of Technology South Bend. Bethel University also has a combination engineering program through the formal agreement with the University of Notre Dame and Trine University. All except two of these universitys and universities are within a five-mile radius of Bethel University. Transportation to another university or university for courses offered there is the individual student’s responsibility.

Bethel University has an enrollment agreement with the University of Notre Dame enabling Bethel students to participate in the Air Force and Army ROTC program.
