How many students are in Kilachand Honors College?<\/h5>

\nWe welcome approximately 140 to 160 students to our community each fall.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
How many people will be in my Kilachand classes?<\/h5>

\nKilachand courses<\/a> range in format from small seminars and one-on-one workshops to cohort-based lectures and team breakout sessions. All Kilachand first-year seminars and Writing Studios enroll 15 or fewer students.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Is Kilachand my major?<\/h5>

\nKilachand is not a degree-granting college at Boston University and is not a major program. Kilachand students enroll in a variety of majors across Boston University\u2019s many degree granting schools and colleges while simultaneously tackling challenging contemporary issues through Kilachand\u2019s multidisciplinary curriculum.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Can I use AP credit to fulfill Kilachand coursework?<\/h5>

\nThe Kilachand curriculum is a residential curriculum, which means that our courses are unique to Kilachand and Boston University. As such, AP and IB coursework<\/a> do not equate to curricular offerings at Kilachand. However, Kilachand students may use these credits to fulfill BU Hub units, major requirements, electives, and as credits toward graduation.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Do Kilachand courses count toward the requirements for my major?<\/h5>

\nKilachand courses typically do not fulfill major requirements for most students. Instead, Kilachand is a BU Hub pathway.<\/a> Kilachand courses are taken alongside students\u2019 major coursework, which together comprise a majority of each student\u2019s unique pathway through the BU Hub, Boston University\u2019s general education program.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Is it OK to be undeclared if I am in Kilachand Honors College?<\/h5>

\nAbsolutely! We encourage students to explore during their time at Boston University. Kilachand Academic Advisors<\/a> help students identify their strengths, goals, and interests to craft challenging and fulfilling academic experiences.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Where will I live?<\/h5>

\nFirst-year Kilachand students live together on dedicated floors of Kilachand Hall<\/a> where their shared residential and intellectual experiences are the foundation for Kilachand\u2019s living-learning community. Many upperclassmen choose to stay in Kilachand Hall or move to the Kilachand House, a specialty brownstone on Bay State Road.<\/p>\n

*Kilachand Hall is being renovated beginning in May 2022 and is scheduled to be completed in August 2023. Please review the Kilachand Hall Renovation<\/a> page for more information about our exciting renovation plans.<\/em>

What is the Keystone Project?<\/h5>

\nUnder the guidance of a project advisor, Kilachand students engage in intellectual discovery through a substantial scholarly, experimental, or creative work in the senior year. The Keystone Project is flexible and gives Kilachand students the opportunity to pursue research or creative work through their major departments, home schools and colleges, or Kilachand. There are\u00a0<\/span>various defined pathways<\/a><\/span>\u00a0through which Kilachand students can complete the Keystone Project.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Can I Study Abroad?<\/h5>

\nWe hope you do! The Kilachand curriculum is flexible in the second and third years, which is when students typically participate in Study Abroad programs. Kilachand students may also engage in off-campus experiences offered by various departments in the fourth year, such as the Los Angeles Internship Program for Film & TV majors.
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Is it possible to complete a double major or a Dual Degree in addition to Kilachand?<\/h5>

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Will I have time to participate in extracurricular activities while in Kilachand?<\/h5>
