Arts-professional curricula
These are offered in cooperation with the professional schools and colleges of other institutions of higher learning. The student spends three years at Bowling Green before entering a professional school. Upon satisfactory completion of the first year in the professional school, a bachelor's degree is granted from Bowling Green.

Preprofessional preparation
It is strongly recommended that the student who expects to enter a professional school first complete a four-year course of study in the College of Arts and Sciences. A student may desire, however, to secure the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science, as well as a professional degree, but may be unable to give the time necessary for the completion of both programs. Therefore, combination arts-professional curricula are offered.Combination curricula are offered in cooperation with the professional schools and colleges of other institutions. These enable the student to shorten the time required for securing the two degrees by substituting the first year of work in a professional college for the fourth year of the course in arts and sciences. These courses of study vary in length from five to seven years—the first three years being taken in the College of Arts and Sciences and the remainder in an approved professional school. Upon the satisfactory completion of the work of the first year in the professional college, the student is granted the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science by Bowling Green.

Combined curricula
The student may obtain both an arts and sciences degree and an education degree at Bowling Green by following this program. Permission to graduate from one of these combination curricula must be obtained from the dean before the end of the junior year. A student in these curricula must:

1. Earn a minimum of 92 hours either in residence or by advanced placement; at least 60 hours must have been taken at Bowling Green in the student's last two academic years prior to entering the professional school;
2. Earn a grade point average of at least 2.5 in all courses taken in residence;
3. Meet the requirements of the degree sought;
4. Meet the major and minor requirements of the curriculum selected.

Combined baccalaureate-master's program
By following this program, the student may finish the coursework for a bachelor's degree in less than four complete years and is prepared for early enrollment in a graduate program. A student who expects to receive a degree by completing one of these curricula must meet all of the requirements for the degree including major, minor and group requirements.

Other programs
A combined arts-professional curriculum is also offered through the College of Education and Human Development.
