Bethel University was founded in 1842 in McLemoresville, Tenn., as Bethel Seminary operating under the fostering care of West Tennessee Synod of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Bethel College was granted a charter by the State of Tennessee in 1847 and operated as Bethel College until 2009 when its trustees voted to change its name to Bethel University.
With the growth of programs and enrollment, Bethel’s physical facilities grew. Originally, only a single building was erected on the McKenzie campus. A number of new buildings were added in the 1960s including McDonald Residence Hall, the Marrs-Stockton Building, the Dickey Fine Arts Building, Roy N. Baker Fieldhouse and the Burroughs Learning Center. Probably the most astounding growth has happened during the last decade with the addition of Prosser Residence Hall, Wildcat Football Stadium, the Ray and Linda Morris Science Complex, University Residence Hall, the Vera Low Center for Student Enrichment and Heritage Residence Hall. Additionally, many existing buildings have undergone extensive renovations during this time.

Bethel University’s main campus is located in McKenzie, Tennessee – a quaint little town in Northwest Tennessee. McKenzie boasts a population of some 5,420 people. McKenzie is the hub of the tri-counties of Henry, Weakley and Carroll with most of the town lying in Carroll County.
Known for its southern hospitality, McKenzie is a favorite place for many from all parts of the United States and even the world. McKenzie is a place where residents can enjoy the benefits of rural living in a temperate climate that experiences each of the four seasons.
McKenzie is located less than two hours from two major transportation centers (Memphis and Nashville) and affords easy access to interstates 40 and 65. It is also less than one hour from another major Tennessee city: Jackson. McKenzie is also home to an award winning airport with a 5,500 foot runway and access to CSX Railways.
McKenzie is located in an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Carroll Lake, just south of town, provides a great area for a number of activities including a picnic area, an 18-hole public golf course and of course fishing. Nearby Kentucky Lake, just 30 minutes away, is famous for its fishing and hunting opportunities as well and is often referred to as "The Crappie Fishing Capitol of the World.” Carroll County’s new 1000-acre recreational lake is also just 20 minutes away from Bethel’s campus.
Other Campus Locations: Satellite campuses in Jackson, Clarksville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis and Paris.
Students who live on campus have a better understanding of Bethel's cultural, social, recreational and spiritual opportunities. They can also better focus on excelling academically since everything they need is conveniently located right on campus.
