The Bowling Green State University Honors College supports BGSU’s mission by fostering a community of scholars. Honors College members sharpen their critical thinking skills, allowing them to attain comfort with ambiguity, inspire innovation, and explore personal values to cultivate a culture of inclusion, respect, and curiosity. Through an emphasis on personal and intellectual development, members are challenged to identify their values and broaden their worldview and enjoy a lifelong commitment to create public good through engaged citizenship.

With its foundation in critical thinking, the Honors curriculum promotes collaborative work, creativity, and interdisciplinary studies that culminate in a research-based Honors capstone project.
