Sophomores who have achieved a 3.0 or higher may be eligible to complete the Collaborative Degree Program between CFA and another college at BU. Students must meet with the BUCOP advisor in the CFA Dean’s Office as well as an academic representative of the secondary college in order to plan an appropriate schedule. BUCOP is an intensive and rigorous course of study, necessitating that students have superior time-management skills. The program of study typically requires five years to complete; however, students may potentially shorten this time by using transfer credits, AP and IB scores, and semester course overloads.
