Learn more about Boston University

Boston University is a private, research university located in Boston, Massachusetts. With more than 4,000 faculty members and more than 40,000 students, Boston University is one of the largest private universities in the United States. Boston University has 31,766 undergraduates, 13,232 postgraduate students, and offers bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, doctoral degrees through 18 schools and colleges on two urban campuses.

BU strictly adheres to federal guidelines for accommodations. They want their students to be independent and strong self-advocates as much as possible, but are there if needed. Dr. Wolf prides herself on the broad range of assistive technologies available . Note: There is a College of General Studies which is a non-degree granting two year program within the University. Students spend two years in a very solid core curriculum and if they've done well, they can transfer to any other college in the University. They have a team teaching approach, so students in the program share the same advisors and faculty. While it's not necessarily designed for students with disabilities, some are admitted there. Admission standards are slightly lower, and is a great start with a strong integrated core curriculum taught by faculty who are really interested in teaching beginning college students. It's also nice for students who are undecided about their major.
