Advising Services

What kinds of classes will I take?
You'll enroll in four or five classes (12-15 semester credit hours) during your first semester at the University. In addition to English composition (GSW), you will take two other classes that fulfill general education requirements at BGSU. Depending on the major you are planning to pursue, you may also be taking a math course. You may be required to enroll in a reading/study skills course (ACEN 1000).  And you will participate in one of the first-year bridge experiences that will help you build the confidence and skills you need to succeed at BGSU.
 
Will all my classes count toward graduation?
Based on your placement tests, you may be enrolled in an English or mathematics class that does not count toward graduation but will strengthen your preparation for college-level work. All other courses will count toward graduation as long as you achieve satisfactory grades. Your academic advisor will help you select appropriate courses that fit your interests and goals.
