A
student who plans to pursue a bachelor's degree
at Bowling Green State University should choose
one course with an international perspective
and one course that satisfies the BG
Perspective cultural diversity in the US domain.
These courses can be taken from the social and
behavioral sciences or the humanities. The College
of Arts and Sciences has developed a list of
cultural diversity courses that can be used
to satisfy the humanities and arts or social

planning to pursue a bachelor's degree in the
College of Arts and Sciences should take a foreign

Students

the associate of arts degrees without taking
a substantially different set of courses.
