Be well prepared to teach grades 8-12 and be in demand when you graduate.
There is a high demand for graduates of Boston College’s Secondary Education Masters programs. Bring us your passion for addressing social justice issues through education and our program will give you the strategies, perspectives, and critical-thinking skills to make a difference.
Education should level the playing field — we feel the same way about financial aid.
The Lynch School of Education provides more than $7.5 million in financial aid to students each year. This makes a BC education — including the quality of BC’s instruction, the benefit of our alumni network, and the impact it will have on your employment options — both affordable and invaluable. Here’s why:
Top-ranked for education: #23 in U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of graduate schools of education. Graduates are often able to choose from multiple offers of employment
Faculty who are active researchers: learn about evidence-based practices from experts who are actively researching new approaches to education.
Exceptional field-based learning opportunities: take advantage of our extensive connections in Boston, Brookline, Newton, Natick, and almost every Catholic school in the state. If you are already employed by a school district, we’ll work with them to ensure you have an exceptional student teaching experience.
A commitment to social justice: we believe all individuals should have access to a high quality education, beginning with you.
Staff members we’ve hired who have graduated from Boston College are incredibly well-prepared and dedicated to social justice. At least one-third of our teachers are BC alums."
