Boston University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

Graduate education at Boston University draws on the strength of our faculty, research programs, and facilities, as well as the historical and cultural advantages of our Boston location. Frequently updating our graduate curricula and constructing new research facilities in the sciences further enhance our educational and research capabilities. We have a long tradition of excellence in the humanities, with interdisciplinary programs such as American & New England Studies and a joint program in Bioinformatics in addition to departmental programs in the more traditional disciplines.

Despite our significant size and diversity, our emphasis is on the individual graduate student, beginning with the proper match among interests, programs, and faculty advisors and continuing with a sustained concern for the student’s development as a researcher, scholar, practitioner, and teacher.

With a richly international student body and a faculty fully engaged at the frontiers of knowledge, Boston University’s Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is making serious contributions to the intellectual developments of our time. We welcome your interest.
