Semester in Boston
The Abroad @ BU Semester in Boston Programs allow undergraduate students to explore culture and academics in the United States. Students live on campus, are fully integrated in the Boston University student body, and have complete access to University resources.

BU Global can help coordinate course selection or design a program to ensure that students fulfill degree requirements at their home institution.
