"Grounded in the ideals that inspired our Jesuit founders, Boston College urges students to look inward but always to reach out—to develop their minds and talents to the fullest and use them in service to others." https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/about.html

Inspiration for Boston College’s academic and societal mission is drawn from the University’s distitive religious and intellectual heritage. As a Jesuit, Catholic University, Boston College is rooted in a world view that calls us to learn, to search for truth, and to live in service to others. To fulfill that mission, we welcome and embrace the contributions of a diverse student body from many faith traditions. https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/about/mission.html
