Boston College's business school works out of Fulton Hall, a Gothic stone building on the Chestnut Hill campus about six miles from downtown Boston. The Carroll School teaches undergraduate management degrees alongside an MBA and master's programmes in finance, accounting and business analytics. Its Jesuit roots show in the curriculum: first-years take Portico, a course on ethics and business. Boston's finance and consulting firms recruit heavily here.
