Students can explore a variety of courses and innovative learning experiences while developing six essential capacities and fulfilling Hub requirements.<br \/>\nThe Hub has been integrated into much of the Physics curriculum. Currently twelve of the twenty six required Hub units will be filled by required courses on the graduate track. This leaves just fourteen Hub units to be completed outside of the curriculum. These Hub units can be completed through Hub Electives.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest and most effective way to fulfill the Hub areas is to take the Core Curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Students can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/phpbin\/course-search\/\" title=\"Course Description\">Course Description<\/a> search tool to find courses that fit their remaining Hub units.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Hub, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hub\/\">BU Hub page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Physics Courses with Hub Units<\/h2>\n<div class=\"course-feed\"><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">CAS<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">PY<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">104<\/span><\/span> Physics of Health Sciences<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\"><\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        <div class=\"cf-hub-ind\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hub\/what-is-the-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"cf-hub-head\" alt=\"BU Hub\">    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bu-hub-iconstyles icon-buhub\">BU Hub<\/span>  <\/a>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hub\/what-is-the-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"hub-head\">    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bu-hub-iconstyles icon-questionmark\">Learn More<\/span>  <\/a>  <ul class=\"cf-hub-offerings\"><li class=\"cf-hub-area-1\">Critical Thinking<\/li><li class=\"cf-hub-area-G\">Quantitative Reasoning I<\/li><li class=\"cf-hub-area-D\">Scientific Inquiry I<\/li>  <\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">Undergraduate Prerequisites: some knowledge of algebra and trigonometry. - PY104 is a one semester introduction to the basic physics concepts that relate to the health sciences.
