What sets Boston University apart?
At Boston University online, you will acquire the same quality education students receive on campus... from the comfort of your own home. Whether you are looking to finish your Bachelor degree or simply want to take a few continuing education courses, Boston University offers online courses specifically tailored for online delivery. Instead of simply reading the textbook, student activities are filled with simulations and animations, creating an engaging atmosphere for learning.

One particular aspect of Boston University's program that stands out is its commitment to community. At BU online, students are placed into small groups led by a facilitator who answers questions about class materials, coordinates discussions, helps with assignments, and offers support services. Students also have their own 'virtual space' in each course where they can converse, share opinions, post ideas, and interact with people from around the world.
