About Us

Our story starts with our students.

Behind every degree, there is a unique and powerful person who dared to dream bigger, reach farther, and create a better future. Our students inspire us, and we want to inspire them. That’s why we’re a nonprofit, open access university specifically designed to help you build on your passions and achieve your goals.

You deserve a university that's as tech-savvy as you are.

We’ve been innovating online learning for more than 25 years and are committed to delivering the highest quality digital experience possible. Our flexible learning formats allow our students to communicate seamlessly, submit assignments with ease, and collaborate in meaningful ways–whether they're online or on campus.

Skip the traditional class format. Here, when you take courses online, you pick the program format that works best for you. Learn on your own schedule or connect with your instructor and fellow students at a set time.

You have big dreams — we help make them possible.

We offer a quick and easy transfer experience, robust financial aid and scholarship packages, work-study opportunities, and more. Each of our students receives a dedicated support team — an Enrollment Counselor, and Student Coach — that helps you feel confident in every decision all the way through graduation. Plus, our Career Services team is here to support you for life.

At Bellevue University, you’re learning the same things you’ll learn at a traditional school, but it’s a different format. It’s more fun. It’s more real life. It’s not just straight out of a textbook.

Build a career with your degree.

You need a degree that’s not just a piece of paper. We collaborate with industry experts and leading businesses to ensure our students are prepared for what’s ahead.

  • Career-relevant programs
  • Future-proof industry knowledge
  • Job-ready skills you can apply immediately
  • Expert professors who care about your future, not just your education
