Company
About Boston University For seventy years, Boston University College of General Studies has been a leader in general education—a small liberal arts college providing a world-class general education in the heart of a large research university. The educational practices CGS pioneered and refined—interdisciplinary learning, the Capstone project, the use of e-Portfolios for rigorous assessment, and an emphasis on general education—have since been adopted as best practices in the field of higher education. Today, CGS continues its legacy of interdisciplinary teaching and learning. Its two-year program fulfills most of the University’s BU Hub general education requirements, inspiring students to make connections among disciplines and to connect their knowledge to real-world problems. It continues to offer a rigorous and comprehensive liberal arts foundation while guiding students on a unique pathway through BU, teaching them how to apply broad learning, how to think critically and creatively, and how to communicate effectively. With its unique first-year experience—a spring semester start date followed by a summer semester in London or New England—CGS offers the only program at Boston University where study abroad is integrated into the first year of college. Our faculty and leadership pioneer best practices in interdisciplinary and general education around the globe. And our alumni continue to change the world in every industry and profession they choose—from entertainment to education to business to the medical fields. We love to stay connected with our alumni, parents, and friends!
