Features:

Benedictine was founded in 1859 and the college is set on 120-acres overlooking the Missouri River on a bluff. The student centered program emphasizes the creative and collaborative learning embodied in the Discovery Program. This new program allows students to become more than a vessel for receiving information: they become collaborators with their instructors in the pursuit of knowledge and the solving of real projects. The possibilities are virtually endless. The Cloud L. Cray Center for Entrepreneurship, established in 1996, is dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship across the curriculum, assisting area businesses, and educating future ethical business leaders through unique opportunities .
