The Bowling Green Experience designates the University’s new vision for a transformative, learner-centered culture focused on the critical exploration of values and their integration into the lives of students. The Bowling Green Experience encompasses students’ curricular and co-curricular activities and is deliberately structured around three key transitions in college life: the transition into college, the transition into a major field of study, and the transition out of college and into professional life.

The Bowling Green Experience builds on many excellent programs at Bowling Green, including the values initiative (BGeX) and the BG Perspective general education curriculum. The current development stage broadens the BGeXperience (BGeX) term into the Bowling Green Experience, which encompasses all aspects of students’ growth and development at BGSU, while retaining the distinctive emphasis on critical thinking about values.
