Admissions
Admissions
A rock-solid foundation.
- A liberal arts foundation doesn’t just help you decide on a major; it shapes your ability to adapt and thrive in all areas of your life and career.
- You’ll learn to think critically and creatively and how to communicate effectively—skills that transcend majors or industries. Thrive in any profession you choose.
- You’ll forge a unique path through BU, exploring a wide range of disciplines while applying broad learning to real-world problems. And you’ll fulfill almost all of your BU Hub general education credits along the way.

CGS Experiences
Boundless opportunities.
- Study abroad your second semester through the Boston-London Experience. Students begin their studies in January in Boston and the following summer have the opportunity to live, study, and chase adventure in the British capital. CGS also offers a summer semester in Boston.
- Supercharge your résumé through CGS’ unique undergraduate research opportunities for first-year and second-year students.
CGS Community
A community like none other.
- Build a tight-knit learning community in Boston—then take it with you across the Atlantic. The team system means you share the same classmates, CGS professors, and academic advisor through your first two semesters of college—from Commonwealth Avenue to London’s South Kensington.
- Forge strong bonds with your classmates in the second year of the program as you take electives and liberal arts classes and end your year with a Capstone experience.
- Academic advisors partner with you every step of the way. Through your two years in CGS, dedicated, full-time academic advisors collaborate with you one-on-one to plan your personal and academic path.
- CGS faculty teach all lectures, hold all office hours, and grade all work. Zero teaching assistants means you get to know your professors one-on-one. They’re also meeting with your other CGS professors and academic advisor each week, building interdisciplinary connections between courses.
