The Arts & Sciences Core Curriculum consists both of a set of interdisciplinary courses open to students in any BU school or college, and of a larger learning community of Core programs and people outside of the classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n Important academic aspects of Core include the integration of topics across courses; the close alignment of Core courses with Hub requirements<\/a>; and the academic diversity of our students and faculty, who represent nearly every major in CAS. Students may take Core classes to earn Hub units, to earn credit for their major, or as electives; and students have the flexibility of taking just a few classes in Core, or the entire Core sequence.<\/p>\n Through our courses and related co-curricular activities, Core students and faculty engage in ongoing conversations about the fundamental narratives and ideas that have shaped our world. Our shared undertaking is to continue to translate the tradition of great works into important discussions and conversations that meet the challenge of our present moment.<\/p>\n Although Core ‘s foundational courses are typically taken during the freshman and sophomore year, Core classes can be taken at any time while at students is at BU.<\/p>\n Advanced opportunities in Core<\/a> include a minor option and a Core Honors program. <\/strong>Students who elect to complete the entire Core program receive a\u00a0commendatory annotation on their official Boston University transcript.<\/p>\n In this section of our website, current students in Core are able to access:<\/p>\n As the document of authority for all students, the Undergraduate Course Bulletin<\/a> is your guide to the departments, programs, policies, and courses at BU. Requirements listed in the Bulletin\u00a0take precedence over information found elsewhere online and in print.<\/p>\n Students with questions about planning their majors, course schedules or degree pathway may contact the Core academic advisor,\u00a0Chris McMullen<\/a>. CAS students may consult the\u00a0Undergraduate Programs page<\/a>\u00a0on the CAS website for additional and up-to-date information about their College requirements.\u00a0Please confirm all information concerning degree requirements and course equivalencies with the appropriate department.<\/p>\n Students petitioning to receive transfer credit <\/strong>for coursework completed at other schools equivalency should be advised that credit for transfer courses whose reading lists closely resemble those in Core classes.
