Boston College proudly announces that the Lynch School of Education and Institute of Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry (IREPM), as part of the School of Theology and Ministry, have partnered to offer joint degree programs in Catholic Educational Leadership across the educational spectrum, from schools K–12 to institutions of higher education.

These new degree opportunities offer the convenience and cost effectiveness of other masters' degrees in the fields of education and religious education, while offering the student the opportunity to integrate studies in school or university administration with courses in
Catholic mission, culture, theology and ministry.

The MA in Higher Education With a Concentration in Catholic University Leadership is for those aspiring to careers in educational administration in Catholic colleges and universities and who wish to embrace their distinctive mission and culture. The MA is housed in the Lynch School.

The MEd in Religious Education, Catholic School Leadership Concentration is designed for those who have some background and experience in educational administration, but little formal background in Catholic theology or ministry, and wish to become principals or presidents of Catholic schools. With this degree, graduates will be well-equipped to provide mission-based leadership that fosters spiritual vitality for all members of the school community. This MEd is housed in IREPM.

The MEd in Educational Administration and Catholic School Leadership prepares those with little background in educational administration for the principalship or presidency of Catholic schools. The degree emphasizes theoretical and practical experiences in educational leadership while empowering graduates to promote a mission-based ethos in their schools. This MEd is housed in the Lynch School.
