5. BC Mission Statement
“Boston College draws inspiration for its academic societal
mission from its distinctive religious tradition. As a Catholic
and Jesuit university, it is rooted in a world view that
encounters God in all creation and through all human
activity, especially in the search for truth in every discipline,
in the desire to learn, and in the call to live justly together.
In this spirit, the University regards the contribution of
different religious traditions and value systems as essential
to the fullness of its intellectual life and to the continuous
development of its distinctive intellectual heritage.”
