Why choose Benedictine?
Enrolling at a Benedictine institution gives students an opportunity to attain a valuable education while engaging in the Benedictine traditions.
The communities that make up the Association of Benedictine Colleges and Universities are dedicated to fostering student growth through experiences that engage the Benedictine values in and outside the classroom.
COMMITMENT
In their work the member and sponsoring institutions of the Association of Benedictine Colleges and Universities seek to share and concretize the Gospel values as interpreted by Saint Benedict in the Rule:
1. The primacy of God and the things of God
2. Reverent listening for the varied ways in which God is revealed
3. The formation of community built on respect for individual persons who are each regarded as Christ himself
4. The development of a profound awareness of the meaning of one's existence
5. The exercise of good stewardship
"As the presence of Benedictine values is present in all aspects of the school - including academics, campus life, and athletics, one receives a fulfilling education while also becoming greatly fulfilled spiritually. Attending a Benedictine college has not only made me a better student, but ultimately a better person."
- Annie Trader, Saint Vincent College
