Education with a heart and soul鈥攁nd the power to transform

Boston College, the first institution of higher education to operate in the city of Boston, is today among the nation鈥檚 foremost universities, a leader in the liberal arts, scientific inquiry, and student formation.

Grounded in the ideals that inspired our Jesuit founders, Boston College urges students to look inward but always to reach out鈥攖o develop their minds and talents to the fullest and use them in service to others.

We ask our students to explore the big questions and challenge them to ask:
What difference will I make? How will my knowledge serve the world?
