Benedictine University has greatly expanded its efforts to internationalize the
campus community over the past few years and includes this focus in its current
mission statement. The University staunchly supports the International Programs
Office's efforts to increase global interdependence and cultural empathy by providing
exemplary cross-cultural opportunities.

the twenty-first century by enabling them to: - transform knowledge into
experience

- attain increased
cultural sensitivity
- cultivate personal maturity
- become responsible
world citizens
- develop cross-cultural problem-solving skills
- improve
classroom performance

experience is a highlight of their college life from which they enjoy enduring
memories. With careful planning and foresight, study abroad is an affordable,
rigorous academic component of higher education which promotes graduation rather
than delays it Education Abroad Programs
