Get to Know the Career Center

The Career Center is here to help you during your journey at Boston College and beyond. We celebrate the diversity of our student body and appreciate that each student brings to us a unique background, life story, and set of interests, skills, values, and goals. Our team will help you tap into resources that will equip you with the skills you need to make your next move, and to design your life and career. 

Our Vision

All Boston College students will be empowered to pursue meaningful careers and lives.

Our Mission

The Boston College Career Center empowers students from all academic disciplines to incorporate their career goals into a broader sense of living a life of meaning and impact. The Center embraces the value of a liberal arts education, which prepares students to discern their gifts and talents and how they want to use them to engage the world. We assist students in complementing their exploration with active career preparation so they can connect to opportunities that help achieve their goals. To meet the needs of each student, we work with partners to foster a community of diverse support networks throughout campus and beyond to help students at every stage of their career journey. Our aim is to reflect the University's belief that career education and readiness are essential components of our Jesuit mission to engage students throughout their journey of self-discovery and personal formation.
