Owens Community College and Bowling Green State University have finalized a seamless transition agreement between their respective honors programs.
Owens students must achieve and maintain a 3.5 grade point average and complete a minimum of 15 credit hours of designated honors curriculum as part of the new partnership. Associate degree graduates will then meet with a Bowling Green Honors Program advisor to identify an Honors course of study consistent with the students’ major as they pursue a bachelor’s degree at BGSU.
“The mission of Owens Community College’s Honors Program is to provide a challenging educational opportunity, above and beyond the standard curriculum, for exceptional students who strive for academic excellence,” said Kathleen Attwood, chair of international studies, communications and humanities and Owens Honors Program committee co-chair. “This new collaboration aligns our two programs’ educational philosophies and enables our students to further their intellectual pursuits at Bowling Green State University.”
“Since both Honors Programs have foundational courses in critical thinking and the liberal arts curriculum, our educational outcomes and goals are identical. This will allow high-achieving students to seamlessly integrate their education at both institutions and to achieve academic success,” said Dr. Paul Moore, director of the BGSU Honors Program.
According to Dr. Moore, Bowling Green State University is planning to initiate coordinated activities and programming to get the Owens Honors Program students onto the University’s campus and to participate with
BGSU’s Honors Program even before they enroll in academic classes.
Interested students can contact the Owens Honors Program at 567-661-2011 or the BGSU Honors Program at 419-372-8504.
