The College started as Bethany Ladies college in 1911. The Norwegian Synod, now the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, purchased the college to use as a high school and junior college. In 1946, the Theological Seminary was founded as the training school for pastors in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Today, the College and Seminary are separate institutions.
