Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) went to Boston University, where she graduated cum laude with Bachelor of Arts degrees in economics and international relations in 2011.

She attended public schools in New York before college, growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown, and then moved to Boston for her undergraduate studies. At BU, her coursework in economics and international relations, along with an internship in Senator Ted Kennedy’s office, helped shape her later focus on issues like immigration and economic justice.
