International Education - Mission

The mission of the Center for International Education is to promote internationalization at Benedictine College. We help prepare our students to engage the global community, explore and develop international opportunities. These include study abroad programs for domestic students and recruitment and support for international students on our home campus.

We believe that part of Benedictine College’s vision is to prepare its graduates to transform the world through their commitment to intellectual, personal, and spiritual greatness. By providing students with internationally-focused educational opportunities, Benedictine College’s goal is to introduce Benedictine College students to live and work in a global society.

The core activities of campus internationalization involve welcoming students from other countries, sending our students to study abroad, helping build a diverse community on campus, and facilitating all that is international at Benedictine College.

Our students include about 60 international students from about 20 countries who have chosen Benedictine College for their education, learning how to live globally the challenges of the world. In the academic year 2013-14, more than 90 students studied abroad for a semester or a summer. Many others have traveled to overseas destinations through a faculty-led trip or a mission trip.
