Why join the Business College of Choice?

CHOICE of programs

Your options are not limited to just a few areas of business.  We offer two undergraduate degrees - a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Economics. You also have a CHOICE of outstanding business specializations and minors.

While some students enter college with a decision to pursue a particular area of business, more than 70% of entering students are undecided or change their area of study at least once before graduating.  The first semester at BGSU, you have the opportunity to explore all the areas of business in an Introduction to Business course.

At BGSU, students have 12 areas of specialization and 6 minors available to pursue, and the opportunity to take a variety of other courses only available at a major university (sports management, leisure studies, health-care management, etc.).

The undergraduate business programs are accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and have been ranked nationally by U.S. News and World Report.
