About Us
Boston University Global Programs provides leadership to increase the impact, success, and visibility of the University’s extensive educational, research, and service activities around the world. BU Global Programs works closely with academic and administrative partners to facilitate the development and implementation of BU’s global strategy.
Global Programs
Nearly every School and College at Boston University engages in global activities. In addition to continuing its global operational oversight and program support responsibilities (previously provided as the Office of Global Operations), several key units are managed under Boston University Global Programs. These are Boston University Study Abroad (formerly International Programs), the Center for English Language and Orientation Programs (CELOP), and the International Students & Scholars Office (ISSO).
Global Operations Toolkit
The BU Global Operations Toolkit is a resource designed to support the many international activities of BU’s faculty, staff, and students. The Toolkit contains best management practices, key guidelines, policies, planning tools, and templates in one central location, and recommends offices and individuals who can help work through issues that may arise with respect to a global activity.
