Academic Advising

For both undergraduate and graduate students, advisors listed on your MyBU Portal are the primary resource for information about degree requirements. 

Your advisor will be able to guide you with course selection, academic interests, and more. In addition, discuss with your advisor the recommended start term for your program. Some programs recommend a summer start instead of a fall start.
