BU Connection

Embedded in a world-class research university, Boston University Academy offers an unparalleled secondary school experience. It’s an intellectual community buzzing with lectures, lab discoveries, gallery openings, and performances — as well as collaboration with professors.

All BUA upperclassmen take courses at BU for college credit and research a thesis with a university professor prior to graduation. Juniors typically enroll in two University classes per semester, while seniors may take as many as four per semester. Boston University Academy’s rigorous core curriculum builds the pathway into these advanced studies.

In the past five years, BUA students have taken:

2,689 classes at BU
462 unique courses
