We ask our students to explore the big questions and challenge them to ask: What difference will I make? How will my knowledge serve the world?
Grounded in the ideals that inspired our Jesuit founders, Boston College urges students to look inward but always to reach outāto develop their minds and talents to the fullest and use them in service to others.
