<p>Ok so I’m accepted. Yay! Congratulations to everyone who was admitted. You guys should be so proud of yourselves.</p>
<p>Anyway, about the BUCOP program. I plan on completing this program so I can have one degree in music and another degree in communications.</p>
<p>So current students, can you give me info on how the program is set up? Is it a selective program? Do people like it? What’s the deal? Thanks!</p>
<p>I only know what my friend told me about it. She majored in SMG and CAS. She had to take a course in SMG and get a certain grade in that class to be accepted into the BUCOP program if I remember it correctly. I don’t think it’s selective, but it can be a lot of work because you have to fill both school’s requirements.</p>
<p>Music in CAS or music in CFA? The latter would be hard to fit with COM. You can read about BUCOP on the website. It’s done by a reasonable number of kids, mostly as in SMG / CAS, SMG / COM, SMG / COM, CAS / COM. I wouldn’t think ENG would work except maybe with CAS, but I don’t know. The kids who do get two degrees seem to do very well, if the reading of Latin honors at graduation is an indication.</p>
<p>By the way, they have recently renamed it to BUDD - BU Dual Degree.</p>
<p>Think they’ll have a BUDD Lite?</p>
<p>No Music in CAS. So I’d like to complete studies in CAS/. So from what you heard, is it the type of hard work where it will turn your college experience into all work and no play?</p>
<p>You’ll be getting two degrees and you’ll try to overlap requirements as much as possible but it will of course mean some extra work. It seems the kids who do this are the kind who can handle it. I’ve been to COM graduations - the largest single ceremony - and they read off kids who get summa for both or magna and summa. One of my kids found that taking 5 classes wasn’t that different, depending on the classes.</p>
