Allow your mind to get lost in the stars by joining two majors together. Astronomy & physics majors explore the principles of astronomy and physics, including planets in the solar system, star formation, galaxies and cosmology, electricity and magnetism, statistical and quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods of physics. By participating in interactive labs you’ll explore the concepts of inertia, velocity, and more. Astronomy and physics majors also have access to the solar telescope located in the College of Arts & Sciences’ Judson B. Coit astronomical observatory. Astronomy and physics is a pathway to research-oriented careers and prepares students for either immediate workforce entry or further, graduate-level study in astronomy and related sciences.

BU’s program is well known for producing highly successful alumni in the field of film and television. You’ll study writing, managing and producing, and the history of film and television, while acquiring the skills needed to launch your career. Choose your focus: Production, Screenwriting, Film and Television Studies, or Management/Producing. Then compliment your coursework with hands-on experience. BUTV10, our student-operated TV production studio, and the BU in LA internship program are popular options.

Interested in how you can make a difference in global public health? Health Science is the perfect fit for students who wish to pursue a career in medicine, nursing, physician assistant training, or physical therapy. You will take courses ranging from biology to psychology, epidemiology, medical ethics, and more. In your senior year, you will complete a practicum experience in an area of your interest either in Boston or abroad. Students registered in this program who meet GPA requirements are eligible to apply for the accelerated five-year Bachelor of Science and Master of Public Health degree (BS/MPH), offered in conjunction with Boston University School of Public Health.

Learn the ins-and-outs of business through the finance concentration, which presents a deep exploration of finance within the Business Administration major. You will have the opportunity to explore a variety of finance courses ranging from International Financial Management to Computational Techniques for Finance. Sample amongst electives like Law Financial Risk Management or Real Estate Finance in Questrom. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to intern and network with alumni at Fidelity Investments, Bank of America, and more! Students may also explore additional academic options, including the Questrom Honors Program, minors, independent studies, study abroad opportunities, and the option of pursuing a dual degree.

Solve problems in biology and medicine by applying engineering concepts to living systems in one of the world’s highest rated biomedical engineering programs. You’ll conclude your time at BU with a Senior Design Project that is heavily focused on teamwork, research, and design. And after graduating, you can apply your skills toward designing surgical robots, improving techniques for DNA sequencing, or making MRI machines smaller and more powerful.

Gain fundamental knowledge in the biological sciences, then build on this foundation through a variety of lecture, laboratory, field, and seminar courses. A range of specializations allows you to delve deeper into specific disciplines, such as Behavioral Biology; Cell Biology, Molecular Biology & Genetics; Ecology & Conservation Biology; and Neurobiology. Special research opportunities include field-based programs like the Marine Semester and Tropical Ecology Program, as well as hundreds of opportunities to conduct research in faculty labs.

Explore the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering in courses such as statics and dynamics, fluids, thermodynamics, heat transfer, structures, material science, instrumentation, and design. You'll cap off your undergraduate experience with the Senior Design Project, a year-long, hands-on, team-driven project that challenges you to design and prototype a product, electronic device, or software system to solve real-world challenges.
