Transfer Hub Guide: Ancient Greek

A typical semester schedule looks like:
  1. Major required course
  2. Major required course or Course of interest
  3. Language course or Course of interest
  4. Hub course (an elective that you take for a Hub requirement)
  5. Optional add-on: HUB FY 101 First-Year Seminar

    However, this schedule may vary depending on your major/minor, your transfer credit, and your intended timeline. We’ve included some helpful info below to get you started thinking about which courses to select for your first semester. After reviewing this, we also strongly encourage you to reach out to the academic advisor who contacted you about registration, so they can help customize your schedule to your specific requirements, needs, and goals.

    Some helpful notes as you begin to select your courses:

    • Please review the Ancient Greek major requirements for a comprehensive breakdown of your required courses. You will likely aim to take 1-2 major required courses this semester.
    • CAS requires all students to demonstrate or develop proficiency at or above the fourth-semester level in one language other than English. There are multiple ways to fulfill this requirement, including external credit. 
    • Students taking BU courses for the Ancient Greek major will generally satisfy some or all the BU Hub requirements below. You therefore do not need to seek out electives to fulfill these requirements:
      • Philosophical, Aesthetic, and Historical Interpretation
      • Intellectual Toolkit
      • Communication
    • When choosing a Hub elective, you should instead consider selecting a course or two that fulfills Hub requirements you won’t fulfill with your major, including:
      • Scientific Inquiry I or II
      • Social Inquiry I or II
      • Quantitative Reasoning II
      • Diversity, Civic Engagement, and Global Citizenship
    • If you’re not sure how to find a Hub elective, you can review our registration instructions for tips on browsing by Hub requirement. As you search, you can also review the course descriptions to see if a course has a prerequisite. Please note that you are responsible for completing all prerequisites listed in the course description prior to registering for that course.
    • No Hub requirements will be awarded to courses taken outside of Boston University, with the exception of some Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams/scores.
