Boston College is only six miles from downtown Boston and offers fast access to the city by car or public transit. The home of many colleges and universities, Boston is both the first city of New England and a premier college town, with students having a noticeable influence on its atmosphere and activities. The city’s large student population also adds to Boston’s diversity. As a result, programs and events appealing to a wide range of interests and cultures are available on college campuses and through community organizations.
The Lynch School of Education is located in Campion Hall on the Beacon Street side of the Chestnut Hill campus (see map). Parking is available in the Beacon Street garage, next to Alumni Stadium. To arrange a visit or to speak with a current doctoral student, please email cni@bc.edu.
You can also learn more about the Lynch School of Education graduate programs by attending one of the on-campus or off-campus information sessions offered by Graduate Admission. You can view the Graduate Program Information Session schedule online.
