Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies
The Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies (SCWS) is a pioneering effort by faculty at MIT, Boston College, and five other degree-granting institutions to advance women’s studies scholarship.
Boston-Area Consortium
Graduate Arts and Science students at Boston College are eligible to cross-register for one course per semester at Boston University, Brandeis University, or Tufts University. Please contact the Graduate Director to review department special rules and regulations.
The Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series
The Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series brings leading sociological scholars to the Boston College campus for a period of residency during the Spring Semester. During their stay, each scholar delivers a major public lecture, teaches one session of an intensive faculty/graduate student seminar, and is available for informal conversation with students and faculty.
