[edit] History
The Carroll School of Management was founded as the "College of Business Administration" in 1938, as Boston College was fulfilling the obligations of its university charter. Its main building, Fulton Hall, was built in the late 1940s to accommodate it.
[edit] Undergraduate program
[edit] Admissions
Prospective CSOM candidates apply directly to the school during their senior year of high school, either through the Early Action or Regular Decision process. While the university does not release the acceptance rate for its business school applicants, the acceptance rate for the university as a whole was 26% for the Class of 2012. Students of Boston College's other undergraduate divisions may transfer into CSOM, through a rigorous application process. However, it must be noted that not all transfer applicants are accepted.
[edit] Academics
The undergraduate program at CSOM offers a balance of both a liberal arts education and a general management curriculum. In addition to coursework for a student's declared concentration, undergraduates are expected to fulfill the university's core curriculum and CSOM's curriculum in general management, which encompassess courses in accounting, finance, operations management, marketing and economics.[2][3]
Beginning with students of the Class of 2013, the school is requiring its incoming freshmen to enroll in a course called "Portico." This course, while serving as an introduction to CSOM for new undergraduates, also serves to teach new students about business ethics through the readings of Plato, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, and Ayn Rand.[4] This course will supersede the previous version of the course, which was known as "Introduction to Ethics."
Students may dual-concentrate (and even triple-concentrate) within CSOM, pursue minors in either the Lynch School of Education or in the College of Arts and Sciences, enroll in the pre-med program, or even pursue a full major in the College of Arts and Sciences while enrolled as a student in CSOM.
