Kilachand Course Requirements

The Kilachand curriculum is flexible in an effort to accommodate the school, college, and major requirements students must fulfill in addition to Kilachand and the BU Hub, but is anchored by common experiences.

All Kilachand students take the following courses:

  • KHC ST 111 & KHC ST 112
  • KHC HC 501

All Kilachand students must also meet the following course requirements, but are able to make choices to suit their interests, goals, or specific Hub needs:

  • Kilachand First-Year Seminars (two total; offerings vary by semester and year)
  • Global Challenges course (one required, though both are encouraged: KHC HC 301, KHC HC 302)
  • Keystone Project (related coursework will vary according to pathway chosen)
  • People in Process: Choice & Change section (KHC HC 502 or KHC HC 512 or KHC HC 522)

Depending on the combination of choices above, Kilachand students enroll in a total of 20-30 units (credits) of Kilachand coursework over four years. For reference, a typical minor in the College of Arts & Sciences is 20-24 units.

All Kilachand courses fulfill BU Hub requirements.
