The Hellenic College and Boston College’s Woods College of Advancing Studies partnership provides Hellenic College students with access to new academic opportunities while allowing them to remain rooted in the vibrant Orthodox Christian community on the Hellenic College campus.
This partnership opens the door to diverse majors, including:
- Cybersecurity
- Digital Communications
- Information Technology
- Criminal and Social Justice
- Applied Liberal Arts Political Science Concentration
- Economics
Students can pursue these exciting fields while continuing to live the rich Orthodox life on the HCHC campus, maintaining the values and community that make our college unique. Qualified Hellenic College students will be granted admission into the Woods College BA program through a streamlined process. They will be eligible to seek financial assistance through the Financial Aid Office at Boston College.
This partnership represents the shared commitment by both institutions to foster academic excellence, holistic personal development, and faith-based community engagement.
Nicholas Ganson, interim Dean of Hellenic College, captures well the significance of this academic partnership, saying, “the new agreement opens up an opportunity for students inclined toward modern technical fields and the social sciences to benefit from Hellenic College’s distinctive Orthodox formational experience and then continue into those fields, assured of high-quality career preparation at BC Woods College.”
