<p>jPod is correct. CGS is a two year program and then you transfer into the regular BU colleges upon Junior year, thats how its set up. Depending on the major it is always possible that any student, CGS or not, will need to ad additional classes that might require a summer semester or additional time in school but it is not set up with that expectation. The same holds for many colleges. For instance, if you take a ton of sciences for pre-med then decide you want to go into teaching you’ll need to capture some classes that might have been missed or work closely with your advisor in choosing classes. Many students come in with AP credits and that allows a litttle wiggle room.

<p>This link shows the difference in entrance requirements for regular 4 yr BU colleges vs. CGS. It reflects enrolled students not just those offered admssions which is always higher. Stats for UNI kids and SMG and a few other BU colleges are on the higher end.</p>
<p>There are other schools with similar programs such as Penn State where the top 60% get into the main campus Freshman year while the others attend a branch for the first two ys. then transfer to the main campus.</p>
