Admissions
Denver Christian School Direct Admissions
Are you a future Royal?
Through an exciting direct admission partnership with Denver Christian School, you’re on the fast track to enrollment at Bethel University! Your Denver Christian School experience has a lot in common with Bethel University—it’s faith centered, has strong academics, and a focus on community—so students with a 3.0 GPA or higher can skip the traditional admissions process!
Plus, because of Denver Christian School's excellent academics and deep Christian faith commitment, eligible students get at least a $3,000 Academic Achievements Scholarship at Bethel, renewable each year.
Take the next step!
Do you have credits to transfer?
Your early college/dual-enrollment credits give you an excellent head-start at Bethel, and we’re working with Denver Christian School leadership to make transferring them as seamless as possible. We’ll help you figure out exactly which of your courses will meet Bethel requirements. If you have credits from other schools, we’ll make sure you understand how they’ll transfer!
Visit campus–and we’ll help cover your travel!
There’s no better way to experience life as a Royal than to be on campus, immersed in our community. You can do that anytime by setting up a personalized visit. Another great option is to attend a Royal Retreat! These events are held multiple times throughout the year, and they’re designed for incoming students like you to experience life as a Bethel student. You’ll get to know other high school students and even stay in a dorm. As an out-of-state student, we’ll reimburse your travel expenses when you visit, up to $300!

A clear price, so you can focus on your future.
Figuring out the cost of college can be overwhelming. That's why starting in 2025-26, we're repositioning Bethel's tuition to give you a clearer, more direct price.
