Welcome to Boston College

From its beginnings in 1863 as a small Jesuit college for boys in Boston's South End, Boston College has grown into a national institution of higher learning that is listed regularly among the top 50 universities in the nation, in ratings compiled by publications such as Barron's and US News & World Report.

The University, now located in the Boston suburb of Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, enrolls 9,400 full-time undergraduates and 4,300 graduate students, hailing from all 50 states and 86 foreign countries. Boston College offers its diverse student body state-of-the-art facilities for learning: a full range of computer services including on-line access to databases in business, economics, social sciences and law, and a library system with more than 1.5 million books, periodicals and government documents, and nearly 2.5 million microform units.

Boston College awards bachelor's and graduate degrees in more than 20 subjects and interdisciplinary areas within the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as undergraduate degrees from three professional schools: the Wallace E. Carroll School of Management, founded in 1938; the School of Nursing, founded in 1947; and the School of Education, founded in 1952.
