The advanced technological education major is designed for people currently employed in technical or community colleges, business or industry who wish to continue their education and/or prepare for advancement. The program combines general education requirements with a well-rounded curriculum that includes the student's unique technical concentration developed as part of an associates' degree, with the courses required for the major.
The emphasis is on providing the education to move into training and management positions in business and industry, or instructor positions in community college settings. The distance learning program utilizes videoconferencing technology that provides an interactive, two-way audio and video classroom at two or more sites. Through classes currently offered at several locations in northwest Ohio, students can complete a bachelor of science in technology.
Major coursework includes: Adult Learning, Technology in Society, Technical Writing, Instructional Design & Delivery, Developing Training Programs, Managing Training Systems, Evaluation & Assessment, Change Process in Business & Education, Internet & WEB Technologies and Instructional Materials Development.
Admission to this program is limited to those with an earned applied or technical associate's degree and extensive work experience.

The architecture/environmental design studies major is a pre-professional degree program that prepares students to enter environmental design occupations or continue in higher education to pursue professional degrees in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, historic preservation or construction. The focus of the program is to enhance the student's problem-solving ability and produce critical thinkers, not technicians.
Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect hold an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB): the bachelor of architecture (B.Arch.), which requires a minimum of five years of study, and master of architecture (M.Arch.), which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor's degree or two years following a related preprofessional degree. These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration/licensure as architects.
An important component of this program is a cooperative education experience in a design or design-related position in industry which is supervised by College of Technology faculty or staff.
First year (34 hours)
Second year (33 hours)

The aviation studies major is designed to prepare students for responsible positions in general and commercial aviation. The program is organized around three specializations: aviation management and operations, aviation technical management and professional pilot. All instruction leading toward Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight certification is conducted in accordance with the appropriate Federal Aviation Regulations.
All students are also required to complete coursework in areas of science and mathematics, general education and business. Supervised cooperative education experiences with or related to the specializations selected are required.
Once a student has enrolled at Bowling Green State University, all subsequent flight and ground training must be completed in residence at the University. Flight and ground training obtained elsewhere is not permitted without prior written authorization from the dean of the College of Technology. If permission is granted to receive flight instruction elsewhere, no academic credit is accepted or awarded by the University. In this case, a student is required to take approved elective(s) to satisfy total credit hour requirements.
In degree programs requiring flight training, a transferring student may (at the discretion of the dean of the College of Technology) have the requirement waived for private pilot and/or ground instruction if all instruction was accomplished or the student graduated from an institution where a course of study was approved under Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Students receiving such a waiver are required to take additional courses to satisfy the credit hour requirement. To receive transfer credit in private pilot and/or ground instruction a student must have taken them at a regionally accredited college or university as part of a FAR Part 141 syllabus. All other flight and ground training courses must be completed as part of the BGSU aviation studies program. The dean of the college may make exceptions for certain qualified aviators.
Fees for the flight instruction courses are based on a minimum number of flight hours as determined by the FAA. Students may take longer to reach the level of flight proficiency required by the FAA. In this case, additional fees will be charged based on the actual number of flight hours a student has received. These rates are approved by the Board of Trustees. Flight fees are not refundable.
The aviation management and operations (AMO) specialization is designed to prepare students for career positions with airports, general aviation facilities, airlines, corporations, engineering and consulting firms, other organizations specializing in aviation and auxiliary businesses whose primary customers are aviation-oriented and who require individuals with an aviation background.
The AMO specialization provides an interdisciplinary approach to management and technology systems and their application to the aviation environment. A benefit of the program is that a student can utilize the educational background in other disciplines, such as facility management or general management. The curriculum focus is on aviation, management, technical systems operation and safety.
First year (30-32 hours)
Second year (31 hours)
Third year (34 hours)
Fourth year (34 hours)
The aviation technical management (ATM) specialization is designed to prepare students for aviation careers with organizations and companies that engage in the manufacture or maintenance of aviation components or which provide aviation products or services.
The ATM specialization provides an interdisciplinary and practical approach to management and technology systems and their application to the aviation environment. Its intent is to further develop or supplement an individual who has an FAA airframe and power plant (A&P) license or a strong technical or vocational background. A benefit of the program is that a student can utilize the educational background in other technology disciplines, such as manufacturing, production or general management. The curriculum focus is on aviation, management, technical systems operation and safety.
First year (32 hours)
Second year (32 hours)
Third year (33 hours)
Fourth year (34 hours)
The professional pilot (PP) specialization prepares the student for a career as a commercial pilot for the airlines, air cargo companies, corporate or business operations, or numerous general aviation positions such as agriculture, flight training, charter, air freight and sightseeing. Flight and ground instruction is accomplished in strict accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations Part 141 and other pertinent regulations. Upon successful completion of the PP specialization, the student will hold the following FAA certificates and ratings: Commercial Pilot-Airplane with single engine, multi-engine and instrument rating; Flight Instructor-Airplane single engine land and instrument rating.
First year (32-34 hours)
Second year (32 hours)
Third year (34 hours)
Fourth year (31 hours)

The construction management and technology curriculum prepares personnel for construction contractors, engineering/architectural firms, public agencies and trade associations. The program is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE), the accrediting agency for four-year baccalaureate degree programs in construction, construction science, construction management and construction technology.
The construction management and technology concentration requires coursework in general education, natural sciences, mathematics, business, technology, design and construction. The graduate of the construction management and technology program receives the bachelor of science in technology degree and seeks a career such as a project manager, estimator, scheduler, project inspector, superintendent or material representative.
The cooperative education program is a required program which integrates each student's employment with classroom academic work. Students may also participate in the Student Construction Management Association, which is a combination of the student chapters of the Associated General Contractors (AGC), the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the Ohio Contractors Association (OCA).
Students must meet specific requirements for this degree outlined in this sample schedule.
