Boston University is a private research university and it is situated Boston, Massachusetts.Founded in 1839, Boston University is among the top five U.S. universities. Suffice it to say that at the Boston University there is one of the largest employers – the only one teaching staff consists of more than 3.5 thousand people. This school has always been very democratic – for example, despite the fact that the university was founded by the Episcopal Methodist Church, in its charter was written that “no student shall be denied the training based on its gender, race or religion” – for Except, that is logical, theological faculty. Quite a bold move at that time, he brought to fruition – now Boston University is highly regarded in both the U.S. and around the world. University was a pioneer in many areas: it is here that there was a first bachelor’s program in Public Relations, Master of Dentistry and the first in the U.S. laboratory, which examined not only cancer, but also engaged in training new specialists. Incidentally, the same high school the first in America began to faculty exchange with European universities.
