Bethany's Alumni/ae Association includes persons who are no longer enrolled as students and who have completed at least a year's worth of credits in a Bethany Seminary degree or training program. This includes graduate, undergraduate, and non-degree program alumni/ae from Bethany Bible School, Bethany Biblical Seminary, Bethany Training School, the School of Sacred Music, Bethany Theological Seminary, and Brethren Academy Ministry Training Programs.

Alumni/ae Coordinating Council

Alums have the opportunity each year to elect persons to Bethany's Alumni/ae Coordinating Council. Three persons serve staggered three-year terms. They plan Alumni/ae events and serve as an advisory board to the Institutional Advancement Staff. Current members are:

Lucinda Barnum-Steggerda (1987), Crown Point, Indiana, term ends in 2008.

Dana Statler (1998), Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, term ends in 2009.

Nick Beam (1999), Pleasant Hill, Ohio, term ends in 2010.

Rhonda Pittman Gingrich (1998) from Minneapolis, Minnesota serves as the Alumni/ae Representative to the Board of Trustees and is an ex-officio member of the Council. Her term ends in 2009.

Continuing Education

Alumni/ae may enroll in Bethany's graduate or academy classes for continuing education. Graduate course schedules are listed on the Academic Services page, and academy courses on the Brethren Academy course listing page. The Academy serves as Bethany's center for continuing education and can award Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

Alums who have earned a graduate-level degree may take graduate courses for credit by registering as occasional students. Application and enrollment fees are waived for alumni/ae. In addition, Brethren alums my receive a 1/2 tuition scholarship for the class. Recipients of the scholarship are asked to give service hours to the Seminary in return for the scholarship. Alumni/ae applying to receive graduate credit as an occasional student can apply online using the occasional student application.
