Live your best life on campus.

With plenty of on-campus clubs and activities — from top-ranked athletics and esports to special interest clubs and student social events — there’s always something fun to do at Bellevue University.

Classes are only held Monday through Thursday, which means you’ll have plenty of free time to work, study, or play. And they’re small enough that you get to know your professors and classmates — and they’ll get to know you. Plus, our 48-acre campus is just minutes away from local attractions, events and restaurants, and music venues.
