Highlighted Centers & Institutes

With more than 35 research centers and institutes making significant contributions in scientific research, the exploration of the relationship between religion and society, and a deepening of liberal arts education, the Office of the Provost is proud to highlight their accomplishments and applauds them on helping to build a broadening foundation for the University to grow.


The Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society

The Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society brings together all members of our campus community to address society’s most challenging problems, particularly in the areas of energy, health, and the environment. Through interdisciplinary scholarship, initiatives, courses, and events, we enhance Boston College’s rich history of working across the disciplines to develop new knowledge that makes a real world impact.

McMullen Museum of Art

From its inception in 1990, the McMullen has departed from practices of other university museums by linking its mission to faculty research across disciplines and to sharing with a wide audience what is normally the private enterprise of new faculty scholarship.



The Institute for the Liberal Arts

The Institute for the Liberal Arts at Boston College hosts conversations and supports programs that examine and advance liberal arts education. The ILA is dedicated to fostering innovative programs in the liberal arts that enhance the intellectual life of students and faculty and lead to new ways of understanding the world we live in.
