Boston College is proud to partner with Service to School's VetLink network, colleges and universities committed to expanding opportunities and access for highly qualified veterans moving on to further their education. This partnership reflects BC's commitment to increasing the number of student veterans enrolled in undergraduate programs at the University. Service to School's (S2S) mission is to prepare transitioning servicemembers and veterans for their next chapter of leadership by helping them gain admission to the best college or graduate school possible. BC undergraduates Enmanuel Cabrera '23 and Mattheus Tiger Braga '24  were recently featured on the S2S website.




Are you looking to participate in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) while in college? Boston College has long offered ROTC opportunities in multiple branches of the armed forces. The Air Force ROTC program is offered at Boston University, but enrolls students from 10 Boston area schools, including Boston College. Army ROTC at Boston College is part of the Liberty Battalion based out of Northeastern University, but most training and coursework for BC students takes place on Boston College's campus. Navy ROTC at Boston College is part of the Boston Consortium based out of Boston University. Feel free to explore the links provided. Contact information can be found on each branch's page.
