Lead. Compete. Thrive.
Empowering Women in the Heart of Appalachia
At Bethany College, nestled in the scenic hills of northern West Virginia, we champion women who lead on the field, in the classroom, and beyond. At Bethany, you’ll join a campus that feels like family, surrounded by the natural beauty and strong values of the northern panhandle. With small class sizes and close faculty connections, you’ll have the space to grow as a student, athlete, and leader.
Achieve Greatness in Athletics
Our women’s teams, rooted in Appalachian grit and determination, have secured multiple championships, including our women’s volleyball team, claiming back-to-back PAC championships in 2022 and 2023. Our newly added women’s wrestling team has taken flight in its inaugural season, with multiple members rising to the NCWWC ranking and securing their first dual team meet victory, creating a historic run to set the pace of the program.
At Bethany, we value teamwork, hard work, and the drive to succeed—qualities that define our region. As an NCAA Division III school, we focus on both athletic excellence and academic success, ensuring our athletes achieve greatness in all areas.
