It’s a space where students will collaborate in cutting-edge labs and use the latest industry-grade equipment.
We offer 21 undergraduate and graduate programs across three schools.

School of Aviation
Our School of Aviation has seen exponential growth and is home to Ohio’s largest flight program – and one of the best in the country. With a unique partnership with the Bowling Green Flight Center and an on-campus airport, our students receive exceptional training in our accredited flight technology and aviation management programs.
School of Engineering
Launched in 2023, the School of Engineering blends traditional engineering principles with innovative technology. We offer in-demand undergraduate and graduate degrees that align with workforce needs. Our newly approved degrees in robotics engineering, mechanical and manufacturing engineering, and electronic and computer engineering are designed to meet the highest educational standards and industry requirements.
A cornerstone of our college is the nationally accredited cooperative education program. For over 50 years, this program has linked students with more than 5,000 companies. It offers invaluable real-world work experiences, ensuring our graduates are well-prepared and well-connected in their professional fields.
