SY101
SY101 is a 1-credit, Pass/Fail course open to seniors (the credit does not count towards graduation requirements). We offer courses that focus on preparing to enter the work force and starting the job search as well as a course that focuses on the basic skills, tool and topics students should know as they become more independent.
CAS Seniors can take up to 20 credits at no additional cost. If you want to overload to 21 credits and would like a fee waiver, e-mail Stacy Ulrich (srulrich@bu.edu) with your BUID and the class you would like to take.

SY101 will help seniors prepare for the “real world” and learn about financial planning, job benefits, salary negotiations, healthcare, taxes, independent living, apartment hunting, basics of investing and retirement plans, as well as general life maintenance.
