BGSU students also can participate in any of the 325 student organizations, 18 themed-learning communities and nearly 100 intramural and club sports. Included in the BGSU experience are ample opportunities for students to enrich their classroom learning with real-world experiences such as service-learning, co-ops, practicums and internships, education abroad, fieldwork, research and community involvement.

As a tier-one university, BGSU offers quality programs designed to meet the needs of today's students and tomorrow's employers.
