to their teaching duties, the faculty continue to actively sharpen their
professional skills through publishing papers and/or books, attending
conferences, presenting papers, participating in workshops, etc. This
devotion to their profession is reflected by the success of our students,
both while attending Benedictine University and after they graduate.

day when classes are in session, arrangements can be made for you to sit-in
on a course in your area of interest. We look forward to meeting you.
