To ensure that our graduates are truly educated for a quality life, productive work, and involved citizenship, we developed the Kirkpatrick Signature Series.

"The Kirkpatrick Signature Series is an interesting, enriching set of courses that rounded out my understanding of the world and prepared me for the learning I got with my bachelor's degree courses."

At Bellevue University, we take our commitment to helping to create better citizens seriously. We are forthrightly committed to a core of beliefs that reflect the best in our culture:

The efficacy of our Western intellectual heritage,
The ethical standards inherent in the Judeo-Christian tradition,
America's noble experiment of democracy and limited government,
The merit and dignity of the individual, and
The prosperity, fairness, and productivity inherent in a free-market capitalist system.

These values are reflected in the Kirkpatrick Signature Series, a series of senior-level seminar-styled capstone courses that are required for every Bellevue University undergraduate student.

Students appreciate the Kirkpatrick Signature Series.

Signature Series students often express appreciation for the depth of learning and significance of the material provided in the series. They particularly note the serious and sustained discussions of the central ideas and issues in American life.
