The Team
Meet Your Academic Advisor

A partner to help pave the way to success.
Your CGS academic advisor will be your partner throughout the two-year program. They’ll get to know your goals and aspirations, and you’ll work with them to help develop your own personalized growth plan for your time at BU.

Your academic advisor will be your guide to CGS’s two-year curriculum — and to selecting electives as you plan your future.

Build Your Pathway
Our academic advising team has built out customized pathways to every major in the university. You’ll work with your advisor to map out the courses you need to take to get where you want to go.
