About the ERC

ERC Mission:

The Educational Resource Center (ERC) helps Boston University students develop the range and depth of academic skills required by the University’s rigorous programs.  We focus on promoting a disciplined approach to study, fostering active and independent learning, developing an awareness and understanding of one’s own thought process, and advocating the strategic use of resources available throughout the University.
The center serves as an academic referral, training, and information resource for the University community; including faculty, staff, administration, parents, alumni, and both undergraduate and graduate students.

ERC Services:

The ERC offers Peer Tutoring, Language Link conversation groups,  Workshops, one of the Writing Centers on campus, and the Contingent Aid Program. The ERC professional staff is also available to meet with students individually to develop a personalized plan for academic success and/or to assist them in developing specific skills. These services are free and can benefit all students who are interested in improving their academic performance. In addition, the ERC manages the Freshman and Transfer Resource Advisor Program for the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).
