Mission and Objectives

At Bethlehem University we believe that health sciences are a professional discipline based on arts and sciences. We operate as an integral part of an open system within the community in which the human being is perceived as a whole being with biopsychosocial and spiritual needs.

We value the role of learning as a lifelong process toward personal development and nursing competence. The goals of education are to foster the development of those habits of thought and actions which prepare health care professional to offer safe and significant health services to the community.

Health care professionals are taught within a comprehensive education program. They will provide care following a holistic model in which they can promote and maintain a state of wellness as well as care for the ill, disabled, and those approaching death.
