The BC MBAA changing world demands a new kind of leader—one with the flexibility to adapt and the vision to put new ideas into action. One who embraces change and has the drive and ambition to break new ground and make a difference.

Across the globe, Boston College MBA graduates are leaders and icons. Our alumni reshape industries and leave a lasting mark. In a time of constant motion, our graduates do more than adapt to change—they lead it.

MAKE YOUR MARK.

Boston College has been creating iconic leaders since its founding in 1863. A top-tier university with global recognition, BC is known across the world for its intellectual rigor, its fiercely loyal alumni network, and its strong commitment to producing leaders with vision and purpose.

ALUMNI NETWORKBoston College boasts an exceptionally loyal and active alumni network, giving students and graduates endless opportunities to make connections and accelerate their careers. Alumni of both the Carroll School of Management and the University hold leadership positions in every aspect of business, and rely on one another as advisors, mentors, and colleagues.

KAY LEMONAccenture Professor Chairperson, Marketing Department

“ Because of our size and the flexibility of the program, there’s a real opportunity here for students to reach out and create new pathways. They make meaningful connections with high-level executives and entrepreneurs, create their own internships, and leverage the insights they’ve gained here to create professional opportunities.”

A GLOBALLY RESPECTED BRAND ERIC NYMAN

MBA ’97General Manager, USA Hasbro, Inc.

“ I would not be in the position I’m in today without my BC MBA. The alumni connections I made at BC led to two great internships—one with the Boston Celtics and one at Dunkin’ Donuts—and to a full-time job at Lego. Today I’m at Hasbro, where I work with brands I’ve loved since I was a kid. Boston College set me up for a successful career, and now I’m able to provide professional opportunities for today’s BC students.”

SKILLS TO SHARPEN YOUR EDGEAs business practices and the needs of industry change, the BC MBA program evolves to meet those demands. Our faculty have their fingers on the pulse of the marketplace, and our curriculum is nimble enough to adapt in response to emerging trends including today’s increasing emphasis on data analytics.

At the same time, the Carroll School curriculum is built on a solid foundation of skills and practical experience.

SIOBHAN SKIZIM MBA ’14Finance Director, Fidelity Investments

“ My experience at Boston College helped me develop strong skills in analysis, presentation, and leadership, so I felt very well prepared for my summer internship with the leadership program at Fidelity Investments. And when the internship led to a full-time offer at Fidelity, I felt very confident going into the workplace.”

RONNIE SADKA Seidner Family Faculty Fellow Professor and Chairperson, Finance Department

“ All of us on the Carroll School faculty bring our own industry and research experience into the classroom, so the education here is not just theoretical but also practical. We’re also constantly updating what we teach in response to marketplace trends to prepare our students for their next career move.”

CAREER OUTCOMES Unique specializations and concentrations give BC MBA students the tools they need to refine their skills, build their personal brands, gain a new level of

confidence, and launch dynamic careers.

PROFESSION-READY EXPERIENCE The MBA program incorporates extensive opportunities for professional experience, including year-long internships that often lead directly to full-time employment. BC also invests in MBA students by bringing experts to campus to lead practical case-based workshops, participate in panel discussions, and

speak directly to students.

STRATEGIC THINKING Students at the Carroll School learn strategic frameworks and how to use them to solve today’s business challenges. What’s more, BC students can gain a competitive edge in today’s cross-functional business world through a dual-degree program. The MBA/MSF, for example, provides deep insights into highly quantitative and analytical topics in finance—and can be completed in two years.

My experience in collaborating with classmates from a variety of professional backgrounds demonstrated to my employer that I had the skills I needed to operate at a high level with international customers who have complex needs.”
