Finding and Using Course Information
Course information is available on each individual BOSP program webpage. BOSP course information for the upcoming academic year will be available in Stanford Explore Courses in Summer Quarter, along with other Stanford departmental courses. While BOSP courses vary by quarter and year, reviewing courses from previous quarters can provide helpful context to aid your planning.
Many BOSP courses have been approved for credit toward a major or minor and these approvals are indicated in the course lists on the BOSP program webpages. Please check with your department if you plan to use BOSP courses to fulfill major or minor requirements. Course offerings are subject to change due to instructor availability, student enrollment, and other factors. We encourage you to have some alternative courses pre-approved in case you need to make changes to your planned enrollment.
Please keep in mind that new courses and department approvals can be added at any time and are always subject to change. We encourage you to review the BOSP courses and discuss your academic needs with your designated academic advisor(s) in advance. Please note: the BOSP website (not Explore Courses) is your most accurate source for program course information.
