Boston College

Founded in 1947, the Boston College William F. Connell School of Nursing (CSON) prepares students to thrive as compassionate nurse leaders in the classroom, in communities, in practice, and through research.  

Grounded in Jesuit ideals, the CSON community focuses on nurturing the whole person and promoting social justice—all in an inclusive, supportive environment. As a result, graduates use their knowledge in service to others.

The Connell School offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs, along with continuing education opportunities.
