About

History

Benedictine College is located in historic Atchison, Kansas, which is a small city on the west bank of the Missouri River, forty-five miles north of Kansas City, twenty miles north of Leavenworth, Kansas, and twenty miles south of St. Joseph, Missouri.
On June 13, 1868, the college was incorporated under the laws of Kansas and empowered to confer degrees and academic honors.

Education

Personally, through immersion in a dynamic residential community, students are challenged to grow in character, in their relationships, and as leaders.

Intellectually, we achieve this with an academic environment in which all students are challenged to reach their fullest potential through close collaboration with faculty and peers.
Spiritually, students grow in an atmosphere that values faith in Jesus Christ. We share the beauty and mystery of the Catholic faith with all members of our community, while we respect the essential freedom that is key to a mature faith. All students are challenged to put their faith into action.

Career

Career Development is available to help students with resumes, interviewing skills, career assessment, internships, networking experience and Career Fairs.

Student Life

Campus life

Benedictine College is located in historic Atchison, Kansas, a small town picturesquely situated in the hills beside the Missouri River in northeast Kansas.
With a population just under 11,000, the city offers the much-sought qualities of small-town life, but is close enough to the metropolitan areas of Kansas City, Topeka, and St. Joseph to offer big-city amenities.

Atchison presents a surprising number of entertainment opportunities – from community theatre, concerts, and art festivals to sports and recreation.
With over 20 sites on the National Register of Historic Places, Atchison reveals its rich historic legacy through its impressive Victorian-era architecture and with five museums.
