Bethel ranks high for service
Special to the Kansan NORTH NEWTON – Bethel College moved up one spot, to #14, in the Washington Monthly annual list of “Best Bachelor’s Colleges.” Washington Monthly rates four-year colleges and universities based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: the degree to which they recruit and graduate students of modest means (social mobility); produce the scholarship and scholars that drive economic growth and human flourishing (research); and encourage students to be active citizens and serve their country (service). “Bachelor’s Colleges” are those that award almost exclusively bachelor’s degrees.
