Boston College is one of the oldest Jesuit, Catholic universities in the United States. U.S. News and World Report ranks Boston College 34th among national universities. Boston College confers more than 4,000 degrees annually in more than 50 fields of study through nine schools and colleges. Faculty members are committed to both teaching and research and have set new marks for research grant awards over the last ten years, more than $45 million in the last year alone.
The Boston College campus features four dramatic examples of English Collegiate Gothic architecture—Gasson Hall, St. Mary's Hall, Bapst Library, and Devlin Hall. The original plans, however, called for at least 20 such buildings. The architectural firm of Maginnis and Walsh envisioned an "Oxford in America," with the majestic structures laid out in a cathedral-like shape. Although fulfilling this vision proved to be too costly, a distinctive campus did take shape. A journalist visiting the Heights in 1915, wrote, "Even in embryo, it is Oxford and Cambridge without their grime."
