Business and Leadership Program Resources
Student Success Advisors
Each program has a designated Student Success Advisor (SSA) who serves as the first point of contact for advising and support while you are enrolled in classes. The SSA can assist you with course selection, program planning, and other academic and registration questions. They are also able to provide referrals to a number of other support offices on campus, based on each student's particular needs.

Bethel Library Subject Guides
These guides should be the first stop for all business and leadership students. They are designed specifically for each program to help students conduct their research as well as to provide links to commonly used e-books, search engines, reference guides, and web pages. Many of these guides overlap on some of the resources provided, but all contain a wealth of helpful information for business and leadership students looking for study and research resources. If you are having trouble finding or accessing certain articles or journals or were wanting help conducting research, the reference librarians are available by appointment, phone, email, and chat.
