“I am pleased to see this recognition of the excellence of a range of graduate programs across the University, and I applaud the faculty and deans in the schools for all their efforts on behalf of our programs and our students,” Provost and Dean of Faculties David Quigley said to the Office of News and Public Affairs. “Graduate and professional education at Boston College enables us to advance our mission in important ways, most notably by training young women and men for leadership in the professions.”
