The difference is in the experience: one rooted in preparing students for real-world success that goes beyond lectures and textbooks.

In the nationally ranked Schmidthorst College of Business, students develop solutions for real organizations through the University’s robust industry partnerships. These experiences build relevant, practical skills and strengthen career development, exemplifying Bowling Green’s No. 1 ranking in Ohio for career preparation.

Students also have access to career design coaches, who provide dedicated support to help them secure internships, co-ops and navigate an evolving job market. 

Among the most meaningful measures of success students consistently recognize is the personal support and mentorship they receive from faculty – connections that lead to high-impact internships and full-time roles at leading companies, including Lowe's, Nestlé, Sherwin-Williams, and more, often before graduation.

On top of that, students learn in one of the most modern and innovative business education environments. The Maurer Center, opened in 2020, features high-tech classrooms designed to foster collaboration, problem-solving and innovation, mirroring a professional corporate environment.
