Requirements:<\/h3>\n

Cross Registration is available for any matriculated graduate student at Boston University. Students must have applied to, and been accepted by, the Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies at MIT<\/a> before beginning the BU Cross Registration process. With approval of the appropriate BU graduate program faculty, a student may receive a grade and graduate credit for completing a GCWS course that has been established on the MIT inventory; an MIT 12-unit course is equivalent to a BU 4-credit course.<\/p>\n
