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.”

Jesuit Education

Jesuit education can be considered a process: 1 It begins with paying attention to experience (Be attentive) 2 moves to reflecting on its meaning (Be reflective) 3 and ends in deciding how to act (Be loving)
