Benedictine University
Benedictine University, based in Lisle, Illinois, is a private four-year Catholic university that offers nursing education in a smaller, mission-driven setting. Nursing pathways commonly include a traditional BSN, an accelerated BSN for students with prior college coursework, RN-to-BSN completion, and graduate nursing study. Instruction is available through campus-based formats in Illinois and Mesa, Arizona, with online options for some post-licensure programs.
Students develop clinical judgment, patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, communication, leadership, and ethical decision-making shaped by Benedictine values. Prelicensure study combines classroom learning, simulation and skills labs, and supervised clinical experiences in healthcare settings. BSN options typically prepare graduates to seek licensure through the NCLEX-RN, while graduate programs support advancement into leadership and advanced practice roles. Program length varies by track, with the traditional BSN following a four-year plan and the accelerated BSN often completed in about 16 months. Benedictine’s nursing programs hold CCNE accreditation, and compared with many larger Chicago-area schools, the university is often recognized for its personal learning environment and faith-based approach.
