Benedictine Experience

Benedictine University is a 4-year, Catholic institution, located in Lisle, IL, just 2 1/2 miles east of downtown Naperville. Our campus is just steps away from a vibrant, historic community with shops and a variety of dining experiences. At Benedictine, we believe that a truly transformative college experience involves not only academic growth, but also personal and social development. Our curriculum is designed to encourage exploration of global cultures, which raises awareness of contemporary challenges and teaches critical thinking skills. We prioritize collaboration, self-growth, and an appreciation for diverse perspectives, all of which are central to our Benedictine hallmarks. Whether you crave adventure or prefer a more traditional approach, we offer ample  opportunities to create, explore, learn, and grow.

 

Take hold of the red thread and weave the path to your dreams with us.
