As an inclusive academic community we are committed to the academic and professional excellence guided by and reflective of BenU's Catholic and Benedictine identity. The BenU Mission Statement notes our dedication to "teaching and learning, scholarship and service, and truth and justice." As students and practicing Registered Nurses you understand first-hand the importance of lifelong learning and a life of service to others.
We are fortunate to have excellent faculty teaching in both the RN to BSN and MSN programs. RN to BSN students value the program for the personalized attention provided by faculty and staff, convenience of delivery sites, affordability, and flexibility in meeting the needs of the working RN who is seeking to advance within the profession. RN to BSN courses are offered online and at various community college locations in Northern IL. The 100% online MSN program prepares nurses from across the country for advanced roles as educators and nurse executive leaders. MSN students value the faculty engagement, flexibility, ability to interact with professional nurses across the nation, and sense of community created within the online learning environment.
