Accomplished faculty who are leading scholars and industry practitioners teach rigorous courses and support students as they accomplish their goals—no matter where students are in their academic and professional journeys.
Our programs and certificate options are also flexible—with full-time and part-time options—and students have opportunities to take courses offered by other Boston College schools.
Our Jesuit, Catholic ideals—including the commitment to cura personalis, or care for the whole person—illuminate everything we do. We devote personalized attention to our students, prioritize their distinct needs, and emphasize character formation.
