This gives students the chance to explore career possibilities and, in many cases, places students in new learning experiences that help them better define their career goals. One of Bethel's goals as a Christian, liberal arts school, is to give students a strong foundation in courses that help hone their writing and communication skills, which the college feels are vital to success, no matter which career path a student chooses. Bethel coordinates student activities like movie nights and special events, and oversees both the academic and social student organizations. Bethel also offers a number of ways for students to feed their Christian spirits. With special events throughout the year, like the annual Bethel College Youth Festival, and daily and weekly programming including worship and Christian fellowship, students have every opportunity to stay close to God during their college experience. Bethel is chartered by the State of Tennessee and accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.
