The mission of the Joseph E. Corcoran Center for Real Estate and Urban Action at the Carroll School of Management is to develop skilled professionals in the field of real estate. As a complement to Boston College’s Jesuit Core, the Center encourages students to think across disciplines and to combine the academic exploration of real estate with real-world problem solving. The Corcoran Center seeks to prepare dedicated “men and women for others” with the skills, knowledge, and experience within the field of real estate to become community-conscious professionals.
