Cotner College opened with a class of 30 students in 1889 and by 1900, Bethany Heights had a population of only 360 despite being a suburb of Lincoln. Despite its small size, Cotner College was ambitious in its courses, being one of few colleges to offer studies in medicine and dentistry at the time. Cotner College also offered courses in religious and biblical studies, education, business, and liberal arts. Bethany Heights was annexed by Lincoln in 1926 and Cotner College closed Bethany Heights location in 1933.
