About Boston College

Boston College, commonly known as BC, is a private Catholic Jesuit research university in Chestnut Hill, which is a suburban village, situated 6 miles west, from downtown Boston, MA. In 1986, parts of the city were designated as historic districts, by the National Register of Historic Places, due to its landscape and architecture.

BC traces its roots back in 1825, when a Jesuit from Maryland, named Benedict Joseph Fenwick, became the second Bishop of Boston, and opened a school in the basement of his cathedral, being the 1st to express, and to put in practice, the desire of founding a `College in the City of Boston`, that will raise a new generation of civic and spiritual leaders.

In 1863, on March 31, the Boston College's charter was finally approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, becoming the 2nd Jesuit institution of higher learning in the state, as well as the first one in the Boston area. Until 1927, Boston College High School remained a significant part of Boston College, being separately incorporated in the same reminded year.

Despite its modest beginning, BC has today an enrollment of more than 9000 undergraduates and 4000 graduate students, offering various degrees, including bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, through its 9 different schools and colleges, which include the Boston College of Arts & Sciences, Carroll School of Management, Boston College Law School and Woods College of Advancing Studies.

The athletic teams from BC are known as the Boston College Eagles, generally referred to as `The Eagles`, who compete in the NCAA Division I, as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, in al sports, BC being one of the only 13 universities in the country to offer NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (Formerly, I-A) football, Division I men's and women's basketball, and Division I hockey.
