New Bruin Academy

Going off to college for the first time can be an exciting and sometimes scary time. If you are a new student, New Bruin Academy (NBA) is a two-day orientation designed to help first-year students like you transition from high school to college life at Bellevue University.

During NBA, you will be introduced to University resources that can help you succeed, as well as meet new people and have a little fun in the process. Be sure to attend for your chance to win a $1,000 Tuition Certificate* and other prizes.
