Academic Advisor Appointment

To book an appointment with Sabrina, email the Grad Center or call 617.353.2673.

Curriculum

The MSMS curriculum is a total of 36 credits, and will be available to view in late July. MSMS students will be registered for these courses by their Academic Advisor.

Handbook

Your Handbook is a reference document that delineates the current policies and procedures for MSMS students. Students should become familiar with the policies and use the Handbook as a resource throughout their program. It is revised each year to reflect new or changed policies and procedures. The MSMS handbook will be available in late Summer.

Registration

Your academic advisor in the Grad Center will register you for all courses.

Compliance

Failing to update a BU Alert number every semester is the most common issue that keeps you out of compliance. In order to register for the Summer semester, you must be in compliance with all University policies, including meeting all immunization requirements, settling your student account, acknowledging the Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Law, and having a current BU Alert number on record. To check your compliance status, click the purple “Personal” tab, and then select “Compliance Status.”
