Bellevue University
Founded in 1966, Bellevue University is a non-profit university with more than 57,000 graduates worldwide.
The University is a recognized national leader in preparing students for lifelong success with career-relevant knowledge and skills, while making college affordable. Through the College of Southern Maryland/Bellevue University partnership and the University’s flexible online programs, students can transfer their full associate’s degree toward their bachelor’s degree without having to leave their community.
Routinely ranked among the nation’s top military-friendly and accessible institutions, Bellevue University serves residential students at its main campus in Bellevue, Nebraska, and everywhere online with more than 70 undergraduate and graduate programs uniquely designed for working adults. The University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission (hlcommission.org), an accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
Students save time and money by completing their associate degree at the College of Southern Maryland and then finishing up at Bellevue University. When you transfer to Bellevue University as a CSM graduate, you bring your entire associate degree with you. That puts you nearly halfway through your bachelor's degree.
