The College of General Studies offers a two-year, general education core curriculum within Boston University. CGS is constructed in team system that limits the number of students in sections. The core curriculum is an interdisciplinary course of study taught by full-time Boston University faculty that all have attained PhD's. CGS freshmen are the second-largest incoming class of Boston University's ten undergraduate schools and colleges (next to the College of Arts and Sciences). All CGS freshmen are accepted as four-year bachelor's degree candidates, who, upon successful completion of the core curriculum and elective courses outside of CGS, continue to the Boston University's other nine undergraduate schools and colleges of their choice as long as the students meets the requirements of that college.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Message from the Dean » General Studies | Boston University )〕 The BU College of General Studies offers courses in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Rhetoric, and Natural Sciences to freshman and sophomore students as a way for students to fulfill all their general graduation requirements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CGS Two-Year Interdisciplinary Core Curriculum » General Studies | Boston University )〕 This college is a two-year commitment, a student is not allowed to transfer into another college within the university until after completing their sophomore year and all other prerequisites. == Academics == Every student enrolled in the College of General Studies is a fully matriculated Boston University degree candidate who—upon completion of the two-year program will have earned 54 credits within the core curriculum and 8–12 elective credits in the other undergraduate programs of the University. Completion of these credit hours places a student approximately halfway through the 128-credit-hour requirement for nearly all of the University's baccalaureate degree programs. By the time CGS students move on to one of the other colleges at BU, they will have completed more or all of their requirements for graduation. After the two years, the student does not receive an associate's degree, but will continue to pursue a bachelor's or other degree within Boston University.〔 For the Class of 2015, the credentials of the incoming class are as follows: Class Rank: Top 21% Average GPA: 3.3 (predominantly B+) SAT Composite: Middle 50%; 1710–1860 (avg. 1785) Critical Reading: Middle 50%; 550–620 (avg. 587) Math: Middle 50%; 560 – 630 (avg. 595) Writing: Middle 50%; 560–640 (avg. 603) SAT Subject Tests: Middle 50%; 520–630 (avg. 581) ACT: Middle 50%; 24–27 (avg. 26)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frequently Asked Questions » General Studies | Boston University )〕 When approaching the end of CGS student's sophomore year, the students are required to complete a project known as Capstone. Capstone is a CGS tradition in which groups of students work together to research social problems and then argue in writing and orally for a specific policy proposal to solve the problem. All students will have completed all their CGS core courses prior to beginning Capstone.〔 The school also offers pathway sheets that assists students in choosing an elective course that will fulfill their possible major choice.〔http://www.bu.edu/cgs/students/fact-sheets/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boston University College of General Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
