Welcome to Benedictine University!
 

The choice of a college/university may be the most important decision you have yet to make. Please know there is no definitive procedure in selecting the college/university that is right for you. In the United States, hundreds of excellent colleges and universities provide students the best education in the world. I am sure that all the colleges and universities to which you apply will have excellent faculty, a record of accomplishment of successful graduates, and many extra-curricular programs for you.



Dr. William Carroll
President, Benedictine University/Springfield College in Illinois

 


Benedictine University is no exception. We have all of the above and more. While a medium sized Catholic and Benedictine institution, Benedictine University's reach is worldwide. As a liberal arts institution, we seek to prepare you for a profession and for life. The University boasts nationally recognized programs from science to business, renowned faculty-all in a value-laden environment. Additionally, the University sports center is a state of the art complex (in fact, several professional teams have called Benedictine University Sports Complex "home").

So, how do you pick the college/university that is right for you in addition to having the programs you wish to pursue? After seeing students come and go over several decades, the magic, I believe, is in the chemistry between you and the institution. When you walk on campus, ask yourself a very simple question. Does this college/university feel right for me? Do I feel like I can grow and prosper here? If your answer is yes, you are home. If your answer is no, seek another institution.

I invite you to visit our campus and to experience the very special hospitality for which Benedictines are known. Come and see us. Ask questions and tour the campus, for you just might find yourself at home.

Come and see us. You are always welcome.
