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 advisors 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 advisors, teaching assistants,
and peer mentors, as well as taking classes
and contributing 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. The Arts Village is
located in Ashley Hall.
