EnglishWhere to Read Boston University News, Events, and Rankings
Updated
Boston University publishes its current news, event listings, and ranking announcements on its main site, with BU Today acting as the primary news outlet. The homepage surfaces BU Today headlines and featured events directly, so you can start there and follow links into fuller coverage. This is the right place to check if you want official, university-published updates rather than third-party summaries.
Where the news lives on bu.edu
The Boston University homepage carries a BU Today section that aggregates recent headlines and featured events. From that block you can move into individual stories and event pages.
What you'll typically find there:
- University news — campus announcements and institutional updates
- Featured events — listings the university is currently promoting
- Research and faculty stories — coverage of studies and faculty honors
- Rankings coverage — reports on how BU places in external rankings
Examples of the kind of coverage available
The homepage evidence shows the range of items BU Today and university news channels carry:
| Topic | Example from the site |
|---|---|
| Rankings | "Boston University Achieves Its Highest-Ever Ranking from U.S. News & World Report" |
| Research | "At Least 25 Percent of Former NFL Players Had CTE When They Died, New Study Suggests" |
| Faculty honors | "Boston University Honors Four Junior Faculty With Prestigious Career Development Professorships" |
| Campus events | "Annual Safety Fest to Take Place This Week on Medical, Charles River Campuses" |
| Academic news | "College of Engineering's 2026 Catalyst Summit Focused on Decoding Everyday Health" |
These illustrate the mix: rankings announcements sit alongside research findings, faculty recognition, and event notices.
How to keep up with updates
- Start at the BU Today section on the homepage for the current headline list.
- Open individual stories for full details on rankings, research, or events.
- Check the featured events block for upcoming campus activities.
- Return periodically — headlines rotate, so the homepage reflects the latest items rather than a fixed archive.
What to expect and what to verify
The homepage gives you headlines and short entry points, not the full text of every story. For specifics — exact ranking positions, event times and locations, or study details — open the linked article, since the homepage excerpt only names the topic.
Ranking claims in particular should be read at the source article, because the headline states the outcome ("highest-ever ranking") without the underlying methodology or category. If a ranking matters to your decision, follow through to the full BU Today piece and, where relevant, the ranking organization's own publication.
