Graduate Study

Selected BUonline undergraduates have the option of getting an advanced degree in conjunction with their bachelor's degree in cooperation with BUonline's MA and PhD programs.

A student holding a foreign nationality may obtain a Bachelor of Science in an Arts or Sciences concentration and an MA in a total of five years. Students interested in the option apply during their junior (3rd) year. If accepted, a student, during the fourth year at BUonline, takes a different series of courses from regular students.

Students who option into the MA program take a series of courses combining both undergraduate and graduate study, so that the senior year of university study also functions as the first year of graduate school. Students who option into the PhD program begin taking doctoral-level seminars in their last year of their undergraduate program.
