_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 9 of 30 <br />This means that Bethel and Northwestern will need to have their own junior and senior level <br />engineering programs established by the Fall of 2018. The President of Northwestern stated that <br />the university will need to find a temporary facility by May of 2018 and a permanent facility to <br />house the engineering program by the Fall of 2019. <br /> <br />Increasing Student Enrollment through Technology and Graduate Programs <br /> <br />Bethel has a total of 4,267 students, of which 1,153 are graduate level. Northwestern has a total <br />3,231 students, of which 213 are graduate level. Bethel plans on increasing the Continuing Adult <br />and Professional Programs enrollment to 4,000 students. Northwestern plans on growing their <br />total enrollment to 7,000 students while they have room for only about 2,500 full time traditional <br />students on campus. Both universities plan on adding enrollment through increasing the number <br />of programs that they offer. These new programs are expected to include a significant amount of <br />online instruction. <br /> <br />In addition to the mathematics, science, and engineering courses, Bethel plans on adding <br />physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training and doctorate of nursing programs at the <br />Anderson Center within the next five years. Northwestern plans on adding bachelor of science in <br />data analytics, master of biology, master of data analytics, master of nursing, engineering, <br />physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician’s assistant and nurse practitioner programs and <br />hopes to eventually have a medical college. Northwestern does not currently have facilities or <br />enough space to accommodate all these new programs on their campus. <br /> <br />CURRENT STUDENT POPULATION <br /> BETHEL UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF <br />NORTHWESTERN <br />POST SECONDARY 21 1,290 <br />TRADITIONAL <br />UNDERGRADUATE 2,548 <br />1,556 <br />ADULT <br />UNDERGRADUATE 172 <br />GRADUATE 1,153 213 <br />SEMINARY 545 N/A <br />TOTAL 4,267 3,231 <br /> <br />Due to the desire of both universities to grow their programs and enrollment, and the cost <br />savings from converting existing building into higher education facilities, Arden Hills should <br />continue to expect requests from both Bethel and Northwestern to expand their facilities into the <br />existing business and industrial zones. It is the purpose of this study to determine the cost <br />benefits of allowing additional areas of higher education uses as opposed to commercial and <br />industrial uses. The next section of this report analyzes how other communities regulate higher <br />education uses. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />0 <br />8 <br />/ <br />0 <br />2 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
