Benedictine University is a private Catholic university located in Lisle, Illinois.
Originally named St. Procopius College and located in the Pilsen community of
Chicago, the school was founded in 1887 by the Order of Saint Benedict. The campus
was moved to its current location in 1901. St. Procopius College changed
its name to Illinois Benedictine College in 1971, which became Benedictine University
in 1996. Benedictine University has retained close relations with the Benedictine Order. Some monks from the nearby St. Procopius Abbey, located across the street, belong to the faculty, though the vast majority of professors at Benedictine are secular instructors. |
