Bachelor of Science in Nursing

On the Lisle campus, students can take part in clubs, organizations, intramurals, leadership opportunities, athletics, campus ministry, and community volunteer work. Lisle is one of Benedictine's campus locations, alongside Mesa, Arizona, with additional options in China, Vietnam, and online. Small classes and a low student-faculty ratio support a setting where professors and advisors can know students personally.

Benedictine began as St. Procopius College in 1887 and has grown within the Catholic intellectual tradition. Its educational approach combines personal and spiritual growth with preparation for lives of meaning and purpose, welcoming students of all cultures, racial and ethnic identities, genders, faiths, and no faith. Academic options span the Goodwin College of Business and Liberal Arts, College of Science and Health, and School of Education.

Programs include fields such as accounting, business analytics, computer science, biology, chemistry, engineering science, education, communication arts, criminology, and nursing, with study available in Lisle, Mesa, China, or online depending on the program. The university offers 42 undergraduate majors, 17 graduate degrees, three doctoral programs, and 17 certificate programs. International undergraduates are reviewed for scholarships upon admission and may be eligible for up to $20,000. Applicants with overseas credit need an official course-by-course evaluation, and English proficiency requirements apply. Short-term and exchange students work through formal agreements with their home institutions.
