About BU’s Online Degree Programs
With 30,000 students from all 50 states and 140 countries, Boston University is the fourth largest independent university in the United States.
For over 150 years, Boston University has anticipated the changing needs of its students while serving the greater needs of society.
Boston University was founded on the ideals that it would be one of the first all-inclusive universities, as well as a leading private research and teaching institution. Boston University celebrates its diversity by carrying the exclusive title of being the first university to open all its divisions to female students in 1872, the first coeducational medical college in the world in 1873, and proudly lists Martin Luther King, Jr. among distinguished alumni. BU also showcases the first woman to earn a Ph.D., the first woman admitted to the bar in Massachusetts, the first Native American graduate with a doctorate in medicine, and the first African-American psychiatrist in the nation.
As one of the nation’s premier research universities, Boston University believes that all students benefit by learning from dedicated teachers who are actively engaged in original research. The University’s learning environment is further enriched by an extraordinary array of direct involvement with the broader artistic, economic, social, intellectual, and educational life of the community. These relationships provide a distinctly practical edge to the University’s educational and research programs.
