Bethesda University is a private Christian university in Anaheim, California, United States. It was founded in 1976 by David Yonggi Cho. The university is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education and the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools and it is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education of the State of California.
The numbers tell a concerning story here — only 18% of students graduate, and fewer than half of freshmen return for sophomore year, which are serious red flags worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, the average net price of just $8,388 per year and a median debt of under $8,000 at graduation make this one of the more affordable options you'll find, which matters if cost is the primary barrier. Worth considering only if you have a specific reason this school fits your goals — its Pentecostal Christian mission and Korean-American community focus — and even then, explore whether nearby schools offer better completion outcomes at a similar price.
