Personalized Education
It's a claim many colleges make. Bethany backs it up. What do we mean by personalized
education? To start with, you're on a campus with about 540 students. Using recent
enrollment data, the average class size was 20 students. The biggest class was
50, the smallest was two. It doesn't get much more personal than that.
Here are some other factors you should consider:
A 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio
This means you will have access to your professors both in and out of the classroom.
Collaborative Learning
While some classes are taught in the traditional lecture format, the faculty
at Bethany is also committed to teaching in a collaborative learning setting.
This allows students to form small groups in which they research topics and projects,
and present the material to other students - all under the guidance of their
instructors. This then requires the students to LEARN the material, not just
memorize facts for a test.
A 6:1 student-to-computer ratio
Bethany maintains four teaching labs on campus and a general access lab in the
Student Union. Each lab has general productivity and Internet software on all
of the computers. In addition, over 85% of the campus features wireless technology.
For students who wish to bring their own computers there are at least two network
connections in each dorm room to connect to the college network.
