Information for U.S. Military

The Boston College Carroll School of Management recognizes that the leadership, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills developed through military service are excellent training for success in the business world. Many of the best candidates we have for our MBA and other graduate programs are active duty service men and women or military veterans.

The following services and resources are available to individuals with military experience.

One of the things I appreciate about BC’s Carroll School of Management is that you get the baseline knowledge in accounting, economics, and marketing—and it’s quantitatively based, which is the language of business.

In business school, you have the opportunity to embrace all possibilities to learn from your peers and professors. You will learn that there’s always another method you never realized to accomplish tasks, big or small.
