Descriptiontext

Bellin College is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare education institution founded in 1909 and headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It exclusively delivers health sciences education across undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, and continuing education levels. The product portfolio spans nursing (BSN traditional, 15-month accelerated, MSN with Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specialization, DNP, post-graduate certificates, Nursing Assistant), medical imaging (Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography certificate, Radiologic Sciences, Radiation Therapy), Surgical Assisting, and physical therapy (DPT, DScPT, Orthopaedic and Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship, PT Continuing Education Weekend Lab Courses). The college also runs pre-professional and youth pathways (Healthcare Academy, Hands on Healthcare, summer camps, Patient Care Technician program) and recurring professional education including the annual Gerontology Conference.

The underlying technology stack is asset-light and built on commodity third-party platforms: Canvas Learning Management System (Instructure) for course delivery, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity and email, Typhon Group for clinical education tracking, and a Health Sciences Resource Center equipped with domain-specialized simulation equipment. There is no proprietary AI or platform layer disclosed. Clinical training is delivered via on-campus instruction and rotations at partner healthcare systems, which double as primary graduate employers.

Bellin College's revenue is generated primarily through tuition and program-specific student fees (multiple program-tier pages exist, including BSN Traditional, BSN Junior Transfer, BSN 15-Month Option, BSDMS, Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography Certificate, BSRS, BSRT, BSST, Graduate Nursing, DPT, and Post-graduate PT). Pricing is published and follows an annual subscription/billing cadence by program. The college supplements tuition with housing, fees, donations (online donations portal), branded merchandise, and continuing education programming. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: campus visits, virtual information sessions, video tours, preview days, multi-platform social media, and email/newsletter communications targeting prospective students and their families. Named employer partners include Bellin Health, Prevea Health, Hospital Sisters Health System, ThedaCare, UW Health, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and others — chiefly serving as clinical training sites and graduate employment destinations in the Midwest United States.
