Undergraduate Admission

Admission Information

Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1863, Boston College is dedicated to intellectual excellence and to its Jesuit, Catholic heritage. Boston College recognizes the essential contribution a diverse community of students, faculty, and staff makes to the advancement of its goals and ideals in an atmosphere of respect for one another and for the University鈥檚 mission and heritage. Accordingly, Boston College commits itself to maintaining a welcoming environment for all people and extends its welcome in particular to those who may be vulnerable to discrimination on the basis of their race, ethnic or national origin, religion, color, age, gender, marital or parental status, veteran status, disabilities, or sexual orientation.

Boston College seeks to maintain an undergraduate student body that represents a broad variety of abilities, backgrounds, and interests. Therefore, in selecting students, the Committee on Admission looks for demonstrated evidence of academic ability, intellectual curiosity, strength of character, motivation, energy, and promise for personal growth and development. Requests for financial aid do not affect decisions on admission. The provides further details on the application requirements and deadlines.

Admission from Secondary School

While specific courses are not required, the Office of Undergraduate Admission recommends that students pursue a strong college preparatory program that includes four units of English, mathematics, social studies, and foreign language, as well as four units of a natural science. Such a program provides a solid foundation for high quality college work, as well as a stronger application in a highly selective admission process.

Standardized Testing

• The SAT or
• The American College Test (ACT)
  听

Boston College will continue its test-optional admission policy for the 2024-25 application cycle. Students may send official score reports from a testing center, list听their test scores on their applications, and/or upload scores through their Applicant Status听Portals.听Enrolled students who provided scores with their applications will be required to submit official test score reports upon matriculation. At that time, students鈥� results will be verified.听听

The full policy can viewed at听bc.edu\admission.

All submitted standardized test results are used in the admission process. Applicants are required to take all standardized tests no later than the October administration date of their senior year for Early Decision and by December of their senior year for Regular Decision.

The Committee on Admission will select the best combination of individual section scores when evaluating an application. International students for whom English is not their primary native language are required to submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the DuoLingo English Test (DET).听Students who score 650 or above in the SAT EBRW or 29 or better on the ACT English section may have this requirement waived.

Candidates will learn of the Admission Committee's decision by December 15. Early Decision II applications are due by January 1 and candidates will learn of the Admission Committee's decision by February 15.

Applying to an Undergraduate Division

All applicants must designate to which of the four undergraduate divisions they are making their application: Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences, Carroll School of Management, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, or Connell School of Nursing. Students are only considered for admission to the division to which they applied. Students may not change divisions following admission, but may be eligible to apply for an internal transfer to a new division after: one semester for those seeking a transfer to Morrissey or Lynch and two semesters to Connell or Carroll. Transferring internally is not guaranteed and selectivity varies by division; interested students should complete the Internal Transfer Form found on the听Academic Forms听page.

International Student Admission

International students are expected to submit the same credentials (transcripts, recommendations, standardized tests, etc.) as domestic applicants. All documents should be submitted in English. If the credentials must be translated, the original must be submitted along with the translation. All international students whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the DuoLingo English Test (DET). Minimum scores of 100 on the TOEFL iBT, 7.5 on the IELTS, or 130 on the DET are recommended.

Transfer Admission

Transfer admission applications are available to students who have successfully听completed听three or more transferable courses (9 credits minimally) at a regionally accredited college or university. Transfer students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to be considered for admission. Competitive applicants typically have above a 3.5 cumulative grade point average. Students are encouraged to finish one full year of studies before seeking admission-in-transfer.听

Fall candidates will be notified of action taken on their applications no later than May 20. Spring candidates will be notified no later than December 15.

Please consult the transfer admission website for additional information about transfer policies.

Transfer of Credit

Boston College transfer credit policies are established by the Deans and Faculty of each undergraduate division. Course evaluations are completed by the Office of Transfer Admission. Any questions regarding the evaluation of courses, either before or after enrollment, should be directed to the Office of Transfer Admission.

At Boston College, transfer credit is established on a course-by-course basis. Transferable courses must have been completed at regionally accredited colleges or universities and must be similar in content, depth, and breadth to courses taught at Boston College. In addition, a minimum grade of C- must have been earned. Boston College students must complete the following number of credit hours for graduation: Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences鈥�120, Carroll School of Management鈥�120, Lynch School of Education and Human Development鈥�120, and Connell School of Nursing鈥�117. A maximum of 60 credit hours will be allowed in transfer. The unit of credit at Boston College is the semester hour. Most courses earn 3 semester hours of credit. Lab sciences usually earn 4 semester hours of credit.

No credit will be granted for internships, field experiences, practica, military training, or independent study.

Applicants seeking to have online courses accepted in transfer by Boston College should submit a syllabus for each course, including information about contact hours and exam requirements.

Grade point averages do not transfer with students. A new grade point average begins with the commencement of a student's career at the University and reflects only work completed as a full-time undergraduate at Boston College.

For transfer students, courses taken during the summer prior to enrollment at Boston College should be approved in advance by the Office of Transfer Admission to avoid difficulty in the transfer of credits. For all incoming freshmen and currently enrolled students, all summer courses must be approved in advance by the appropriate deans.

College credit courses taken in high school with high school teachers and other high school students cannot be used for credit. These courses may be assigned advanced placement units only if a corresponding College Board AP exam is taken and a qualifying score is earned.

Date of Graduation

All undergraduate students are expected to spend four years enrolled as full-time students in order to earn a bachelor's degree.

Students generally may not accelerate the date of graduation stated in the acceptance letter, with the following exception: students who enter Boston College after three or four semesters at a school where the normal credit requirements are less than those at Boston College and who experience a loss of one semester in their status as a result. If students have attended only one school prior to Boston College and the loss of status is due solely to differences between academic systems, students will be allowed to make up their status and graduate with their class.

A transfer student's date of graduation is determined by the number of credits accepted in transfer and the number of Boston College semesters these satisfy. The normal academic load for undergraduates is five 3- or 4-credit courses per semester. Thus, students are expected to have completed 30 credits at the end of one year, 45 at the end of a year and a half, and 60 credits at the end of two years. In determining a transfer student's date of graduation, leeway of 6 credits is allowed without loss of status. For example, students completing 24鈥�30 credits are accepted as first-semester sophomores.

Residency Requirement

The requirements for the bachelor's degree generally include a minimum of eight semesters of full-time enrollment, at least four semesters of which must be at Boston College.

Transfer students may need more than eight semesters in total in order to complete all the university鈥檚 degree requirements. As long as transfer students abide by all relevant University academic regulations, including at least four semesters at Boston College, they may seek to regain their original graduation-year status through course overloads and summer courses. Transfer students who seek to regain their original graduation date should consult with their associate dean to confirm that they are eligible to do so.

Special Students

Only those persons who wish to be enrolled as full-time day students are admitted by the Office of Undergraduate Admission. All other students wishing to attend Boston College on a part-time basis, for either day or evening classes, should contact the Dean of the James A. Woods, S.J., College of Advancing Studies, St. Mary鈥檚 Hall South, Ground Floor, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.

Advanced Placement Units

There are a number of ways to earn advanced placement units at Boston College including qualifying scores on College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exams, International Baccalaureate exams, British A Level exams, French Baccalaureate exams, as well as results from the German Abitur, and the Swiss Maturit茅 and Italian Maturit脿. Official results from all testing should be sent to the Office of Transfer Admission for evaluation. Qualifying scores will be assigned advanced placement units as detailed at .

College Courses Taken During High School

Advanced placement units can be earned for college courses taken during high school. For more information, visit .

University Core Curriculum at Boston College

As a Jesuit, Catholic University, Boston College shares a 450-year-old tradition of integrating the intellectual, moral, and religious development of its students. The centerpiece of Jesuit education has always been a common curriculum that emphasizes the study of the defining works of the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.

Our ongoing efforts to renew the University Core Curriculum aim to ensure that engagement with the Core 鈥渂roadens the intellectual horizons of students; introduces them to the best of contemporary pedagogy, research, and teaching; promotes their integration of knowledge, beliefs, and actions; and prepares them for lives of freedom, integrity, leadership, and service鈥� (The Vision Animating the Boston College Core Curriculum, 2014). Guided by this vision, students completing the University Core Curriculum will:

1. Demonstrate the critical, mathematical, informational, analytic, expressive, and creative skills that are essential tools of the educated person well prepared for a meaningful life and vocation.
   
2. Understand the major ideas and methods of inquiry of the scholarly disciplines that comprise the University and be able to use them as beginning practitioners to address complex contemporary problems.
   
3. Be able to identify and articulate the strengths and limitations of the disciplines and the relationship of the disciplines to one another, and demonstrate an understanding of the breadth and diversity of human knowledge as well as its openness to integration in more comprehensive wholes.
   
4. Be conversant with and able to discuss intelligently enduring questions and issues that are fundamental to human inquiry and that have shaped the traditions from which the University has emerged.
   
5. Demonstrate the ability to apply more than one disciplinary perspective to the same enduring question or complex contemporary problem.
   
6. Be familiar with the scholarly exploration of religious faith and understand how faith and reason are related in the search for truth.
   
7. Demonstrate the ability to examine their values and experiences and integrate what they learn with the principles that guide their lives.听

Cross Registration

Woods College of Advancing Studies

All full-time undergraduate students are limited to one Woods College of Advancing Studies (WCAS) course each semester. Freshmen may not enroll in any WCAS course.

WCAS courses can be used to fulfill elective requirements. Students must check with the appropriate department if they want to inquire about using about the possibility of using a Woods College of Advancing Studies course to fulfill a Core or major requirement. Any exception to this policy must be made with the appropriate department and Academic Dean鈥檚 approval.

Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium

The Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium (BTI), a consortium of theology faculty primarily in the Boston-Newton-Cambridge area, has as its constituent members the following institutions:

• Boston College鈥檚 Department of Theology
• Boston College鈥檚 School of Theology and Ministry
• Boston Islamic Seminary
• Boston University Graduate Program in Religion
• Boston University School of Theology
• Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
• Hartford International University for Religion and Peace
• Harvard Divinity School
• Hebrew College
• Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Seminary
• St. John鈥檚 Seminary and Theological Institute
  

This consortium offers complete cross-registration in several hundred courses, the use of library facilities in the nine schools, joint seminars and programs, and faculty exchange programs. This program is only available to graduate students in a Theology program or in the School of Theology and Ministry.听

Students who want to cross register through the Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium should visit the website to create an account and submit a cross registration request. Students are expected to consult with their advisor or department chairperson before cross registering. Graduate Theology majors may take up to half of their courses through BTI.

The Consortium

Under a program of cross registration, sophomores, juniors, and seniors may take one elective course during each fall and spring semester at Boston University, Brandeis University, Northeastern University, Regis College, or Tufts University if a similar course is not available at Boston College. Cross registration forms are available in the Office of Student Services, Lyons Hall.

Degree Audit

A degree audit is a computer-generated analysis that enables an undergraduate or law student and his or her advisor to assess the student's academic progress and unfulfilled requirements. Students in the Woods College of Advancing Studies can meet with an advisor to review their progress at any time.

The degree audit is a valuable tool for academic planning because it matches the courses that the student has taken with the requirements of his or her degree program or anticipated program. Students receive degree audits each semester prior to registration and have access to actual and simulated degree audits at bc.edu/myservices听("Degree Audit"). Students are responsible for completing all the requirements listed on the degree audit prior to graduation.

Language Proficiency Requirements

The study of language, literature, and culture other than one鈥檚 own enables the Jesuit-educated student to appreciate the world better, to seek commonalities, and honor cultural differences. Therefore, students in the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences will demonstrate intermediate-level proficiency in a foreign or classical language in order to graduate from Boston College. Intermediate proficiency is defined as completing the fourth semester of a language. Students continuing a language previously studied will take one to four courses, depending on their placement. First-year students should begin/complete the language requirement during their first semester.

The Advanced Placement (AP) test scores below demonstrate intermediate-level proficiency at Boston College.

If you have taken the AP Test but have not yet received your score, take the placement test and register for the course recommended when you complete the test. When you receive the AP score, you may make necessary changes. If you have questions, speak with the language advisor at your registration session.听

Other Exams and Exam Score Minimums

• British A levels: Languages other than English A/B/C levels
• International Baccalaureate: Higher level foreign or modern classical language 6 or 7
• General Certificate of Education: German A level
• DELE exams (Diplomas de Espa帽ol como Lengua Extranjera): B1 or higher level
• Successful demonstration of native proficiency by documentation. Documentation of native proficiency ordinarily assumes evidence of post-elementary school education in the native language.

Fulfillment of the proficiency requirement by the examinations listed above does not confer course credit.

Course Work Meeting Language Proficiency Requirement

• Successful completion of the second semester of an intermediate-level Boston College modern or classical language course
• Successful completion of one Boston College modern or classical language course beyond the intermediate level
  听

Students may not take foreign language courses on a pass/fail basis until they have completed the university鈥檚 language proficiency requirement. Language courses will count as Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences electives.听Students with documented learning disabilities may be exempt from the foreign language requirement and should consult with the Connors Family Learning Center ().

Graduation, Advanced Standing, and Acceleration

Students are expected to satisfactorily complete eight semesters of full-time study (excluding summer terms) in order to earn the bachelor's degree. The University awards degrees in May, August, and December of each year, although commencement ceremonies are held only in May. A diploma will not be dated before all work is completed. Students who graduate in December may participate in commencement exercises the following May. In order to ensure timely clearance, all students who plan to graduate should confirm their diploma names online.

With permission from the student's Academic Dean, there are two ways the time to degree can be shortened (accelerated): (1) by qualifying for Advanced Standing or (2) by completing all requirements in less than 8 full-time semesters. Details of these two paths are given below.

Advanced Standing

Beginning with the Class of 2024:听Students who earn a minimum of 30 Advanced Placement units may be eligible for Advanced Standing and complete their undergraduate studies after six semesters of full-time study. Ordinarily, Advanced Standing is for one full year only. Students interested in this option should be in touch with their Academic Dean no sooner than the completion of their first semester at 六合宝典. No decisions on Advanced Standing will be made prior to this time. Students seeking Advanced Standing must be able to complete all degree requirements by the proposed graduation date and be approved for Advanced Standing by the Academic Dean before the start of the third year of undergraduate study. No more than 30 Advanced Placement units may be credited toward the degree.

For further details, visit听.

Acceleration

After being in residence for at least three semesters, and no later than the end of the drop/add period in the seventh semester, full-time undergraduate students may apply to their Academic Dean to accelerate their degree program by one semester. The following conditions apply:

• Summer courses intended for acceleration must be taken at Boston College.
• Any credits attempted over 15 in a semester used for acceleration are charged the per credit rate for the semester they are taken. Students receiving financial aid should consult their financial aid counselor to determine the impact of accelerating before officially applying for acceleration.
