BC Description
With its high level of research and wide range of academics, Boston College is a great destination for undergraduate and graduate students alike. Despite an enrollment of nearly 15,000, the college maintains a student-to-faculty ratio below 15:1.
Boston College offers about 20 degree programs and more than 55 concentrations throughout its academic divisions:
- College of Arts & Sciences
- Graduate School of Arts & Sciences
- Lynch School of Education
- Boston College Law School
- School of Management

In addition to these schools, the Woods College of Advancing Studies exists to serve adult students. Woods College offers programs for degree completion, professional studies and non-degree coursework.
The application deadline for early action undergraduates is November 1, and the regular decision deadline is January 1. For graduate students, deadlines and procedures vary based on the school. Boston College has a need-blind admissions policy, which means that your ability to pay tuition does not factor into admissions decisions.
Of course, this also means that BC seeks to meet its students’ demonstrated financial need. Boston College offers a variety of financial aid options, including grants, loans, institutional scholarships and student employment. Aside from the Presidential Scholars Program, all BC financial aid is need-based.
