About This School
Bethel College-North Newton is a private nonprofit institution located in North Newton, Kansas with approximately 504 undergraduate students enrolled. Bethel College-North Newton has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 94%. The average net price after financial aid is $32,917 per year. The graduation rate is 41%, and the typical graduate earns $45,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 96% acceptance rate means getting in is rarely the hurdle, but a 43% graduation rate signals that finishing is a real challenge — nearly 4 in 10 students who start don't make it through. The relatively low median debt of $12,000 is a genuine bright spot, and $45,600 in median earnings is respectable for a small Mennonite liberal arts school in Kansas. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit faith-based community and are confident in your commitment to finishing, but look closely at what's driving that high attrition before enrolling.
