Boston University is located in the heart of Boston and, in recognition of its excellence in undergraduate education and research, is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities. More than 300 undergraduate programs of study are offered, and students study with award-winning faculty. Students enjoy smaller, tight-knit campus communities with the resources of a large University thanks to a student-to-faculty ratio of 10:1 and an average class size of 27. We believe that transfer students provide a unique perspective on the college experience and the kind of drive that is the hallmark of a BU student. Each year, there are at least 2,100 transfers on campus at any given time, continually enriching our campus community.
