The Honors Program has two applications – one for incoming freshmen and one for continuing/transfer students.
An incoming freshman is any student that is a graduating high school senior attending BGSU in the Fall. Deadline for high school seniors applying to the Honors Program for Fall 2008 is May 1, 2008. The deadline is extended to May 30.
A continuing student is any student with at least one completed semester at BGSU. A transfer student is a student with at least one completed semester at another college or university. There is no deadline; admission is on a rolling basis.
Incoming Freshmen
In reviewing applications, the Honors Program considers the student’s high-school academic record (including grades and courses taken), standardized test scores, extracurricular activities and leadership record, and writing ability (as demonstrated in a brief essay on one of several assigned topics).
A student wishing to apply to the Honors Program must provide the following:
- The Honors online Application for Admission for incoming freshmen.
- Application Response
- Critical Thinking Essay: A written response to the news editorials about the biases the author possesses.
- A current copy of your high school transcript. This is a separate one from the one sent to admissions.
Incoming freshmen may apply online or by completing a paper application. To apply online, students must have already been admitted to BGSU and created their BGNET account. Print the Application Checklist to help ease the application process.
Continuing / Transfer Student
Continuing / Transfer students must have a minimum university cumulative of 3.5. Read the Admissions Policy for Continuing and Transfer students. A continuing/transfer student wishing to join the program must also set up an appointment to meet with the Assistant Director by calling 419-372-8504.
A first semester BGSU freshman should contact the Honors office if they wish to apply to the program.
