Phi
Beta Kappa
Membership
in Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious
honor society, is available to those students enrolled
in arts and sciences degree programs who have achieved
academic distinction while pursuing a well-rounded
liberal arts education. The BGSU chapter was installed
in 1983.
Study
Abroad
Students have the opportunity to study abroad in
virtually any country. The college has established
programs in Canada, Mexico, England, Spain, France,
Austria, Italy, Africa, and Asia.
Undergraduate
Research and Internships
Students in chemistry, biology, mathematics/statistics,
physics, geology, and psychology have the opportunity
to participate in undergraduate research experiences.
Creative opportunities also exist in all other programs.
The
college also sponsors internship programs through
which students gain practical, “hands-on”
experience in workplace settings related to their
field of study. Most departments and schools in
the college also offer internship programs. Arts
and Sciences students interested in internship experiences
may also work under the auspices of the University’s
Cooperative
Education Program.
Beyond
the Classroom
Opportunities for involvement in co-curricular activity
abound in the College of Arts and Sciences. Its
academic units sponsor dramatic productions and
forensics programs as well as numerous discipline-based
honor societies and interest groups. The French
House and La Communidad, located on campus, offer
small, informal, residential learning opportunities
for students who are interested in French and Spanish
culture and language, respectively. Often, enrollment
in the College of Arts and Sciences is not a prerequisite
for participation in these activities.
Major
Studies
Arts and sciences students who are undecided
about a major are assigned to one of the college
office advisers and thereby have assistance in the
selection of a major.
Chapman
Community at Kohl
Chapman Community is a living-learning program designed
for a diverse population of students at Bowling
Green State University. Chapman recognizes that
the best place to grow, to create, define and strengthen
oneself is in a caring and dynamic community, and
not in isolation. Students join Chapman because
they believe in engaging with and giving to both
their local and the world’s wider community,
in order to bring about a better, more just world.
In
Chapman, students socialize, study together and
support one another, seeking to build an ideal community
within a residential setting. Chapman first-year
students take some Chapman classes together (and
other classes outside Chapman) and work to develop
their leadership, social and academic skills. Chapman
upper-class students assume leadership roles in
the community, serving as resident advisers, teaching
assistants and peer mentors, as well as take classes
and contribute to service learning opportunities.
Believing that students learn best when their personal
and academic lives are integrated, Chapman provides
members with opportunities to deeply enrich their
capacities for curiosity, imagination and opportunities
for community leadership.
Chapman
students live in centrally located Kohl Hall, an
exciting and contemporary environment that houses
classrooms, lounge and study spaces, an art studio,
a music room, a computer lab, a garden-gallery,
and a cafe, designed specifically for the learning
community.
Arts
Village
Dance,
art, theatre, music, creative writing—if those
pursuits interest you as a profession or an avocation,
the Arts Village will be an extraordinary learning
community for you. Open to students in any major,
the Arts Village involves exploring all aspects
of the arts and sharing views with one another and
faculty of various disciplines. The community offers
on-site classes specifically geared toward art students,
collaborative projects, activities, and social events.
