BOSTON COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL AND BOSTON COLLEGE’S WOODS COLLEGE OF ADVANCING STUDIES ANNOUNCE DUAL ENROLLMENT PARTNERSHIP
Boston, MA, July 31, 2025—Boston College’s Woods College of Advancing Studies (WCAS) and Boston College High School (BC High) have agreed to a dual enrollment partnership that will provide BC High juniors and seniors with early access to college-level coursework and a head start on their academic journeys through the Woods College.
Through this innovative program, eligible BC High juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to enroll in up to two Woods College courses while at BC High at a discounted tuition rate. Courses are taught by distinguished Boston College faculty and are available in flexible online, evening, and hybrid formats, making it easier for students to balance their high school commitments with advanced learning. Credits earned through this program may be transferred to Woods College should students choose to continue their studies there after graduation, providing a seamless transition to higher education.
This partnership is a natural extension of the longstanding relationship between Boston College and BC High, two Jesuit institutions with a shared heritage dating back to 1863. For generations, both have been dedicated to forming young people of competence, conscience, and compassion, committed to academic excellence and service to others.
“We are thrilled to deepen our historic relationship with Boston College Woods College through this new partnership,” said Grace Cotter Regan P’12, President of Boston College High School.
“Our shared Jesuit values call us to provide transformative educational opportunities for our students. This dual enrollment program will allow BC High students to challenge themselves academically, experience college-level learning, and continue their formation as leaders who will make a difference in the world.”
Alison MacDonald, Vice President for Educational Strategy at BC High, echoed this enthusiasm: “This partnership is a testament to our shared commitment to academic excellence and the holistic development of our students. By offering BC High students access to college courses, we are not only preparing them for future academic success but also nurturing the intellectual curiosity and ethical leadership that are hallmarks of Jesuit education.”
“We are confident that BC High students possess the academic ability, maturity, and intellectual curiosity required to excel in college-level coursework,” said Woods College Dean David Goodman.
“Their preparation and commitment to learning make them well-suited for this opportunity, and we look forward to welcoming them into our classrooms as they continue to challenge themselves academically.”
More information will be shared with BC High students who are interested in enriching their high school experience with college-level coursework when they return to school in September.
