Are you looking for a program that goes beyond the typical graduate student orientation? A program to help you prepare for all aspects of being a graduate student or graduate assistant? Then you've just taken your first step in the right direction. BGSU's Graduate Student Enhancement Program (GradSTEP) is here to help all graduate students reach higher levels of technology, research, and teaching competence, as well as personal development and academic proficiency. GradSTEP is open to all graduate students, faculty, and staff and is required for graduate students receiving an assistantship contract from BGSU. GradSTEP is offered throughout the year as either The August Program or The Ongoing Program.

 If you have not already completed our program, as a graduate student receiving an assistantship you will soon be participating in the Graduate Student Enhancement Program (GradSTEP). GradSTEP has a long history of helping new and continuing graduate students like you become familiar with the community and services available to them during their tenure at Bowling Green State University. Although the primary goal of GradSTEP is to ensure that our graduate assistants are well prepared when they go into their classes and and to meet the requirements of their assistantship assignments; we are also dedicated to you as an individual graduate student and are here to help you succeed with your academic goals. GradSTEP has been developed and refined over more than twenty years. There is a strong feeling of pride knowing that the improvements we continue to make in our program have made the acclamation process easier for the students and faculty who participate, and that it has become a model program for many other institutions of higher learning.
