Located on the Brookline Campus of Boston College, Messina College is a two-year fully residential associate's degree program. Beginning in the inaugural 2024–25 academic year, Messina College will provide 100 first-generation, high financial need students each year with an opportunity to pursue an associate's degree from Boston College, with the goal of preparing them to enroll in a bachelor’s degree program or to begin their careers. As undergraduates at ’s ninth school, Messina College students will have full access to Boston College's campus, facilities, and programs.
“As a first-generation college student, I didn’t have people to talk to about applying to college or navigating college life. Serving as dean of Messina College will enable me to provide access and vital support to students who are often facing that same uphill battle. Messina College is grounded in Boston College’s academic excellence, student support, and caring faculty.”
