Graduate Education at Boston University
A message from Associate Dean J. Scott Whitaker

Graduate education at Boston University reflects the strength of our research programs and facilities, as well as the historical and cultural advantages of our location in Boston. Recent construction of extensive new research facilities in the sciences has further enhanced our science faculty's active research program; a long tradition of excellence in the humanities includes interdisciplinary programs such as American and New England Studies, in addition to those of the more traditional disciplines and the joint program in religion and theology.

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 and Sciences is making serious contributions to the intellectual developments of our time. We welcome your interest.

Scott Whitaker
