Boston College
Boston College is the oldest higher education institution in Boston and has consistent placement into the top investment banks. Boston College ("BC") is a liberal arts school that is recognized for its rigorous focus on academics.
Boston College ranks #23 overall on our investment banking target school list, earning itself a designation as a semi-target school. BC sends the vast majority of its investment banking hires into bulge bracket firms, with a sizable number going to Citi.
Boston College is home to the Carroll School of Management, which offers business classes to both undergraduate and graduate students.
The data reveals that BC has the strongest firm placements into Citi, Barclays, and UBS. We note that BC has very limited presence at the elite boutiques, with only 10% of investment banking placements into these firms.
