Established in 1971 as a result of a merger between St. Benedict’s College for men (founded in 1850) and Mount St. Scholastica College for Women (founded in 1923), Benedictine College is a private, coeducational, residential, undergraduate liberal arts college. The college is located on the bluffs that overlook the Missouri River in the rural town of Atchison, Kansas.
The college is strongly rooted in the Roman Catholic faith. Mass is offered four times a day and there are five designated campus areas reserved for prayer.
Benedictine has 11 residence halls, separated by gender and class ranking, where the majority of the 1700 students live. The school currently offers over 40 majors and bases its curriculum on four fundamental values, which are its sturdy pillars: Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts, and residential.
Benedictine College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
