Thank you for your interest in the International Studies major at Boston College. The following application will help us to select a diverse group of students who can flourish in this rigorous interdisciplinary program.    

Here are the steps to complete the application:

(1) Go to the IS Program web site (www.bc.edu/isp) to review information about the major, get answers to specific questions, and download a copy of the application questions so you can prepare them offline;

(2) Return to this application to enter your information and paste your essay by 11:59pm EST on February 1, 2024. Applications received after that deadline will be considered only after all others have been considered.

** Decisions will be announced by the end of February, allowing students to affirm (or decline) the offer to become a major well before Fall 2024 registration begins in April 2024.

Questions? Contact Prof. Hiroshi Nakazato, Associate Director of the International Studies Program (nakazato@bc.edu) or Ms. Patricia Joyce, Associate Director of Interdisciplinary Programs (mclaugpp@bc.edu)

Thank you!
