About Us:

Benedictine University believes an education should do more than prepare students for work. An education should prepare students for life.

Benedictine University promises its students an affordable and attainable undergraduate and graduate education infused with the Benedictine values – values such as an appreciation for living and working in community, an emphasis on a life lived in balance, a concern for the environment and a commitment to academic excellence.

We promise our students faculty who make students’ learning their first priority. Our faculty work side-by-side with students, whether delving into life’s greatest mysteries in the laboratory or preparing tax returns for the elderly and underprivileged. Our classes are taught by faculty with the highest degrees in their field who mentor, counsel and advise.

Benedictine promises our students a support system dedicated to their success, including academic tutors to ensure their progress in the classroom; caring, helpful staff in areas of financial aid, student life and athletics; and career specialists and alumni who help provide comprehensive preparation to enter the job market.

We promise our students a diverse, caring community in which they can become better learners, better leaders and better world citizens. Benedictine is one of the most diverse universities in the country, and we believe that by introducing students to people of different races, political and religious beliefs, we better prepare them for life.

Benedictine University. Student learning and success is our first priority.
