Tuition and Fees for College of Arts and Sciences Students for 2023-2024

College of Arts and Science Fees

$33 per credit hour

Bethel University offers course material delivery through our bookstore flagship partner Barnes & Noble. The plan is affordable, accessible and convenient for students. Undergraduate students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences on the McKenzie campus will easily receive all of their course material on the first day of class. The fee is set at $33 per registered credit hour. Students are automatically enrolled in the plan to accommodate preparedness on the first day of class. We believe this is the best option for our students. To opt out of the plan, go to the student ePortal. 

Private rooms must be paid in full by financial aid or out of pocket prior to moving in.

Other meal plan options are listed below.

If classes are confirmed in the student ePortal before selecting a meal plan, the default plan rate will be automatically selected and cannot be changed.
