Dean’s Welcome

Boston University welcomes you!

Recognizing that success in today’s competitive business and technology industries requires a global perspective, Boston University’s Metropolitan College cultivates a dynamic learning environment for students locally, nationally, and internationally.

Instrumental to our global outreach, MET International forges partnerships with outstanding academic institutions across the globe to bring their students to our US programs. The mutual benefits are indisputable—our classrooms are enriched by diverse insights, customs, and traditions, while partner students gain exceptional preparation for the global business environment through study in Boston. As part of Boston University, MET’s business programs are accredited by AACSB International―The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Engaging with people, ideas, and challenges that impact the world has always been vital to the mission of the University and MET. Simply put, global engagement is in our DNA. As an international community, we remain steadfast in our commitment to diversity, inclusion, respect, and dignity—principles that inspire us to achieve our highest standards personally and professionally, alone or as a team. With this in mind, I wish to underscore Boston University’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

I invite you to learn more about our programs, faculty, and university—and to consider the benefits of an educational partnership with us.

To your future,

Tanya Zlateva
Dean, Metropolitan College
