The Jesuits of the Society of Jesus established the institution initially as an undergraduate college for liberal arts and began operating it on September 5, 1864 in a modest building located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston. At the time, it was known as the College of the Society of Jesus. Both the New England Commission of Higher Education and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges have bestowed their approval upon the educational establishment in question.

The main campus of BC is located in the charming neighborhood of Chestnut Hill, and the university also maintains two satellite campuses in the nearby communities of Brighton and Newton.
