An intensive immersion in the liberal arts tradition designed for academically gifted students, with

history, and more.

Welcome to the home page of the Scholars Program at Benedictine University!

Housed in the College of Liberal Arts, the Scholars Program offers academically talented students from across the University special opportunities to develop their skills as thinkers, readers and writers through a coordinated program of seminar-style coursework that emphasizes discussion and debate about vital intellectual questions.  The Program also aims to help its members grow as leaders and global citizens by heightening their understanding of other cultures and encouraging a commitment to socially responsible action.

This web site provides resources for prospective students, current students, and faculty of the Scholars Program.
