Bellevue University means innovation, risk-taking, and customer service to its
students, staff, and faculty. Risk-taking is rewarded and entrepreneurship is
valued. Bellevue University is a great place to work and innovation is evident in
programs, delivery systems, general education, student service systems, and in
the philosophy of the administration and University Board of Directors.
The community leaders who founded Bellevue College in 1966 had a vision that
still resonates today—Provide quality, cost-effective business and liberal arts
degree programs that meet the needs of busy working students, employers, and
society.
From a small, one-building campus in the Omaha suburb of Bellevue,
Nebraska, that original, down-to-earth vision has expanded worldwide. Today
Bellevue University attracts more than 13,000 students from the United States
and 72 foreign countries. Its alumni are spread around the globe. It is a
recognized leader in providing students with support service and technology tools
that enable them to develop professionally and become global citizens. Bellevue
University has alliances with businesses and education institutions in the United
States and abroad to provide educational programs that meet real needs.
