Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1863, Boston College is one of the largest Catholic universities in the United States, with an enrollment of approximately 14,500 undergraduate and graduate students drawn from all 50 states and approximately 90 countries.

Though it has grown in size, stature and diversity, Boston College remains focused on its founding Jesuit mission to offer students a transforming education experience: to help them develop both their intellect and their character and to encourage them to lead lives of faith, integrity and service to others.
