NOTE: Please allow a week’s notice when scheduling your visit. A confirmation email will be sent once preparations have been completed.
Request an In-Person CGS Information Session
We welcome prospective students and their families to attend an in-person information session led by CGS Assistant Director of Student Services, Jihyeon Choe (jchoe1@bu.edu).
Students can register for an information session using the Prospective Student Information Session Request Form. If you have any questions about the form, please email cgs@bu.edu for further assistance.
Schedule a Virtual CGS Information Session
Students can schedule a Virtual CGS Academic Advising Information Session with CGS Director of Student Services and Academic Advising, Matthew Bae (mbae@bu.edu). These information sessions are 30-minute, one-on-one meetings for students who want to learn more about the CGS program.
We kindly ask that students refrain from booking back-to-back information sessions on the same day. One session is typically sufficient to address most questions. If you are concerned about time, please list your questions or topics in the registration form so they can be addressed efficiently during your meeting.
