Military, Veteran, and ROTC Applicants
Boston College encourages veterans and individuals considering a career in the armed forces to apply. We value the perspective gained through military experience and the benefits for our campus community when veterans become students.
A medium-sized university with undergraduates studying academic disciplines within the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences, Carroll School of Management, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, and Connell School of Nursing as well as the Woods College of Advancing Studies, Boston College undergraduates take advantage of our campus's close proximity to the educational, social, research and professional opportunities found in Boston.
As a Jesuit, Catholic University, Boston College educates students to become Men and Women for Others. Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, was a soldier before his spiritual conversion led him to the priesthood. Commitment to community, servant leadership and ethical decision-making remain core tenets of Jesuit education.
Many Boston College alumni are veterans. They represent a network of support for servicemen and servicewomen transitioning to college and beyond.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice for us.
