Bellevue University
Bellevue University is the largest private university in Nebraska having over 8,000 students worldwide inclusive of its traditional, online and accelerated degree programs. These programs are offered in their main campus as well as their satellite locations in five states throughout the Midwest. Aside from its main campus in Bellevue, Nebraska, there are at least 11 sites in Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri, Kansas and also in Nebraska.
Formerly known as the Bellevue College, it traces its humble beginnings from the efforts of the then members of the Bellevue, Nebraska Chamber of Commerce in 1966. It was renamed as Bellevue University in 1994 and has since served more than 11,000 students annually. The university has received numerous awards and commendations for their innovative learning programs and was one of the first accredited institutions to offer online degree programs through Bellevue University Online. Programs in the fields of Healthcare, Human Services, Public Safety, Human Capital, Business and Leadership and Information Technology are ready to support the career and personal goals of students. Bachelor’s and master’s degrees are offered in both on-campus and online environment.
Class sizes in Bellevue are kept small to facilitate personal attention from professors and communication with peers. Faculty members bring real-world experience to classroom teaching. Repetition of courses previously taken is avoided through the university’s generous credit transfer policy.
Classroom undergraduate classes cost $ 220.00 per credit hour for the regular 12-week term while online classes cost $ 335.00 per credit hour. The regular tuition for graduate classes both for classroom and online is $ 430.00 per credit hour. Programs are subject to other mandatory fees. Bellevue University uses the cohort-based format for most of its programs. This would entail assigning a student to a cohort or group of peers which are typically working adults who have similar careers. The entire degree program is taken with these people to facilitate learning from shared perspectives and experiences. This learning experience is always handled by a respected faculty member.
