Syllabus Templates for Hub Courses and Cocurriculars

These templates are intended as a helpful tool that outlines the basic categories of information students find useful on syllabi, and includes some notes for proposers on simple, research-founded practices for engaging students and helping them understand the course’s scope and expectations. While the General Education Committee encourages proposers to adapt and use the syllabus template, it is not required for a successful Hub proposal.

BU Hub Course Syllabus Template

Faculty writing a Hub course syllabus should refer to the Characteristics of Successful Hub Proposals and Syllabi section of the Hub website.

BU Hub Cocurricular Syllabus Template

Hub cocurriculars are 0-credit experiences that can satisfy one Hub requirement. Learn more about cocurriculars here.
