About Benedictine University
Founded in 1887, Benedictine University is a Catholic University in the Benedictine tradition that provides a values-centered education designed to prepare people from diverse backgrounds for a lifetime as active, informed, and responsible leaders in the world community.
Benedictine University builds its educational life and efforts on seven core values: a search for God by oneself and with others, a tradition of hospitality, an appreciation for living and working in community, a concern for the development of each person, an emphasis on a life lived in balance, a dedication to responsible stewardship of the earth, and a commitment to academic excellence.
The University offers a wide array of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs through its six colleges: the College of Business, the College of Education and Health Services, the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Science, the Margaret and Harold Moser College of Adult and Professional Studies, and most recently the Benedictine Global Campus which includes all Asian academic programs.
About the College of Business
“Our Center for Values-Driven Leadership in the College of Business is a global community built on the best in business – on the core values, courage and commitments that produce better products and services, better bottom lines, better communities, and a healthier planet. We embrace this adventure, and welcome the challenge.”
– Dr. Sandra Gill, Dean, College of Business
In the College of Business, we combine Benedictine values with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare students for success in the corporate world. Programs include Accounting; Business and Economics; Finance; International Business and Economics; Management Information Systems; Management and Organizational Behavior; Organizational Leadership; Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.); and Ph.D.’s in Organization Development and Values-Driven Leadership.
Our faculty includes an exceptional blend of full-time and adjunct professors, many of whom are business and industry leaders. They are world-class teachers, researchers, and practitioners. In many programs, Visiting Distinguished Scholars and Business Leaders from around the world come to Benedictine to join our faculty in the classroom and enrich student learning.
Programs are designed to meet the needs of traditional-age students as well as working adults. Courses are offered in semester, quarter, accelerated and cohort formats. All of them are offered on our main campus in Lisle and many on our satellite campuses in Springfield (IL), China, and Vietnam.
Built on this solid foundation, the Center for Values-Driven Leadership helps leaders forge new paths to profitability through a values-driven approach to business.
