Academics

The Academic Affairs Committee is currently working on a number of initiatives and has made great progress throughout the 2006 - 2007 academic year. A partial list follows.

  • Majors Expo - One location for all within the university to look at ALL of the majors offered here at Boston University. This is planned for early Fall 2007.
  • Boston University Cooperative Program (BUCOP) advising intiative - Increasing awareness and education regarding this dual college, dual degree program.
  • Academic Advising - Foster awareness and interest in the advising of Boston University students from within academic departments.

Information for Students

The Academic Affairs Committee spent part of its time during last semester gathering information about some of the schools here at BU on requirements for graduation. The following represents the efforts of both the AAC committee and CAS Forum. While this information is not complete and any major decisions should always been thoroughly explored, we hope that this can help point you in the direction toward making the most out of your choices.

Please e-mail Matt Seidel, the Academic Affairs Committe Chair, at mjseidel@bu.edu for any ideas about ways to improve this page and better help you this semester.
