Boston University offers undergraduate education to inmates at three Massachusetts state prisons. In 1972 Norfolk Prison became the first correctional institution to provide BU education to its academically qualified inmates followed by Bay State Prison in 1991 and finally in 1993 Framingham Women’s Prison joined in. Since the beginning of the program several hundred students have graduated from Boston University Prison Education Program.

MET MA 120 Calculus, MET CS 248 Discrete Mathematics, MET CS 382 Computer
