Education is a lifelong process, not something that just happens during your college years. In your First Year Seminar, themes like "Person in Community," help you to recognize and draw strength from your connections to the people around you, as you will throughout your life. Your liberal arts core classes encompass both the Judeo-Christian tradition and today's diverse world. They shine a different light on all the relationships in your life - at home, work, on or off campus, from biochem study groups to the baseball team. When you select your major, you build on that core education to reach your life goals. We believe in hands-on learning. That's why education majors are in the schools beginning in their sophomore year, pre-medical students are involved in a practicum at Edward Hospital in Naperville and communications majors produce our monthly Eye of the Eagle cable television program. No matter what your major, you have the opportunities to observe and experience workplace environments to prepare you for your potential career. Academically gifted students are further challenged with special sections of core classes and the opportunity for independent study by participating in the Scholars Program. You can also earn academic credit, polish your language skills, change your world perspective and intern in another country with our Study Abroad program. Our class sizes are small, so your professors know your strengths and
weaknesses and can press you to excel. All your classes are taught by
professors, not teaching assistants.

At Benedictine, everything is at my fingertips. I get the same academic quality, plus my professors are as interested in my success as I am. I am getting a very solid academic foundation. That feels good." Grace Nijm, "Benedictine University provided me with a solid background in all business disciplines including marketing, finance and statistics, each coming into play in day to day decision making. In addition, my communication skills and ability to work well in teams, developed through four years of challenging work, have given me an edge in the competitive marketplace."
