Bethany College

Detailed description of Bethany College

Bethany College, established by Swedish Lutheran immigrants in 1881, is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

Located in Lindsborg, Kansas, Bethany is a small, private college that provides students personal attention within a caring community. The student body is highly engaged in learning both inside and outside the classroom. All students are encouraged to explore and deepen their own faith, as they find and follow their paths in the world.

The mission of Bethany College is to educate, develop, and challenge individuals to reach for truth and excellence as they lead lives of faith, learning and service.

The Bethany College Swedes Golf program was established in 1929. Since 1982, the Swedes have won 15 KCAC championships. They are perennial National Contendors.

Their unofficial 2011 team photo that they posted on Facebook earned the team a bit too much exposure and a one tournament suspension. Aw, dem Swedes!
