The Cross-College Challenge (XCC) is the BU Hub’s signature project-based, 4-credit elective course open to sophomores, juniors and seniors from all of BU’s undergraduate schools and colleges. XCC provides a unique opportunity for faculty, staff, and community partners to explore a complex real-world problem or an enduring human question with an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students. Each XCC fulfills 4 Hub requirements.
“Concept to Cart was one of my favorite classes I have taken at BU. Working with my team to build a business around our product taught me the importance of collaboration, creative thinking, and adaptability. The most rewarding experience for me was pitching our final project to real industry professionals, which was a hands-on way to apply what we learned throughout the course. I left this class feeling more confident in my skills and excited to keep building on what I learned!”
