Faculty-led
Programs
Benedictine University offers many different in-house trips for students to participate in. Each year faculty members propose and design short term trips in conjunction with courses offered in Fall or Spring semesters. Students take the semester long course for 3 credit hours and to enhance what has been learned they travel to a specific country and learn more about the material they had been previously taught.
