Undergraduate students who enter as transfer students to BU follow a specially tailored Hub curriculum that builds on the coursework they have completed while assuring that they develop the capacities required of all BU graduates.<\/p>\n

Transfer students take BU courses that fulfill requirements in each of the Hub areas below and must complete all 10 Hub requirements in order to graduate. A single course can satisfy multiple Hub requirements, and most transfer students will fulfill Hub requirements in 4\u20135 courses. Hub courses can also count toward major and minor requirements, and transfer students can elect to fulfill up to one requirement with a Hub cocurricular experience<\/a>. Courses used to fulfill Hub requirements must be taken at Boston University.<\/p>\n
