Gifts to the Boston University Metropolitan College Fund allow Metropolitan College to provide its students with excellent educational opportunities. Your gift to the MET Fund will support:

MET Community
In an effort to provide access, excellence, and innovation, Metropolitan College is committed to creating a front door for all of its operations. Currently, classes are scattered across the Boston University Charles River Campus between the School of Theology and the old car dealership on Commonwealth Avenue. Having a new space is essential to housing and integrating the growing College.

Student Aid
MET’s programs serve individuals and employers throughout greater Boston, across the country, and around the world. Alumni generosity helps fund the education of students who lack the financial means or corporate support to take advantage of a MET education. Through the Community Scholar Academic Scholarship Program, MET is also committed to helping local students who are pursuing part-time degrees on part-time basis at community colleges in Boston.

Quality Programs
Alumni donations ensure that MET continues to attract top faculty and offer high-quality programs to working professionals. The College has been recognized as a Center of Academic Excellence by the National Security Agency for its focus on information security and privacy in its computer science programs, and received a bronze award from the United States Distance Learning Association for its interactive program, Food Stuff: A Taste of Biology. This past spring, MET sent out its first graduates from the Master of Science in Business Administration program offered at Hanscom Air Force Base.

Distance Education and Online Learning
MET pioneered BU’s ventures in online learning. Boston University’s distance education programs enable nearly 2,000 working professionals and other adults from around the world to continue their education through a variety of technologies. Dean Halfond oversees all extended education endeavors for the University to ensure quality, uniformity and competitive academics. In just two years, the Office of Distance Education has supported the development of new online degree programs in criminal justice, management, and physical therapy.

Military Programs
MET continues to expand its military programs at Marine headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and Quantico, Virginia. The U.S. Marine Corps recently invited MET to direct its distance learning efforts worldwide.

International Initiatives
As globalization brings a new light to the University’s educational mission, MET shares its objective to further develop and strengthen international education both locally and abroad. Incorporating real-world issues into its programs, MET has played a crucial role in merging these two spheres.
