Boston College Carroll School of Management: Find Your Place. Build Your Future.

Find your place.

Build your future.

Welcome to the Carroll School of Management at Boston College, a small, close-knit community at the heart of a great university.

At the Carroll School, we believe that a management education is, from the start, an education in ideas. That is why our curriculum is tightly coupled with the humanities. We introduce you to a broad slate of topics essential to business training—accounting, economics, ethics, finance, information systems, business law, marketing, and more—but we also encourage your pursuit of subjects drawn from across the liberal arts, like history, literature, natural science, phil­ osophy, and theology.

We want to help you cultivate not just knowledge but wisdom—the wisdom to analyze complex challenges from all sides, to take risks for innovation, and to listen and communicate perceptively. You are beginning a journey of lifelong learning, and over the next four years, we will help you develop the insight, acumen, and confidence you need to wrestle with life’s most pressing questions.

WHERE IT STARTS Your Carroll School experience starts with Portico, a one-semester overview that covers the breadth of contemporary business—global and historical perspectives, ethical challenges, emerging opportunities—and introduces you to the rich resources of the Carroll School, including a robust variety of student-run groups and activities. Your Portico professor will be your first-year advisor, helping you find out where you fit and what motivates you, and then crafting a four-year plan that meets your goals.

ADVICE ALONG THE WAY In our competitive but supportive environment, you’ll be challenged to do your best work, but you’ll find helpful resources at every step. A variety of advisors will support you throughout your four years, helping you select and register for classes, choose your concentration, and build real-world career experience.

Peer advisors are particularly valuable, offering a student’s perspective on courses, study-abroad opportunities, and internships. The Undergraduate Dean’s Office offers drop-in hours and an informal weekly Dean’s Coffee that is part social connector and part advising opportunity. You can even get to know your favorite professor outside of the classroom through our Take Home Prof pro­ gram: we’ll give you $100 to cook, serve, and eat dinner with a faculty member in your residence hall or apartment.

PLANNING YOUR FUTURE As you move through your first year and begin to look ahead, you’ll take advan­ tage of an outstanding range of career-development resources. The Sophomore Accelerator program provides a complete overview of everything from résumés and skill-building to networking and interviews. Seniors act as mentors for sophomores and juniors, helping with mock interviews and other career skills.

An abundance of career fairs—marketing fairs, start-up fairs, internship fairs— will help you test the waters. Opportunities in the Edmund H. Shea Jr. Center for Entrepreneurship will let you advance your best ideas. Programs such as TechTrek and internships and events through the Joseph E. Corcoran Center for Real Estate and Urban Action will allow you to combine classroom learning with experiences in corporate, non-profit, and government settings.

Whatever your interest, you can pursue it in one of the Carroll School’s rich variety of student-run groups and activities. You can join a discipline-specific club like the Finance Academy, Information Systems Academy, or Marketing Academy, or you can affiliate with broader groups like Women in Business or the AHANA Management Academy. Our students also take leadership roles at the University level, making connections through intramural sports, student government, and service opportunities.

This is a community that values connection—a place where faculty and staff members want to get to know you as a person, not just as a student. We’re invest­ ed in your success. But your time with us is not only about finding a field, or even finding a job. It’s about finding your place—within this community, and in the wider world—and starting your search for answers to the questions that drive you.
