Real experiences of success, in their own words

The RN-BSN program has allowed me to make an easy transition into earning my Bachelors in Science of Nursing degree so that I may provide the highest quality care to each one of my patients. I am very grateful for the wonderful faculty who continuously provide support and encouragement in my journey of continuing my education so that I may become the best nurse I can be."

Hannah Rae Schoen

I would highly recommend the Assistive Technology Certificate Program as well as the Masters degree program in Special Education from BGSU.  Both were invaluable to my career in public school special education. I really liked the flexibility of choosing which classes I wanted to take and how many to take at one time. This was very helpful as I worked full time.

Kim Crump

The online Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ) program provided a convenient course schedule that allowed me to balance my work-related responsibilities and academic tasks. The curriculum was relevant to my profession and enhanced my level of knowledge and awareness concerning important national topics associated with criminal justice. The research and network of information has made a tremendous impact on my career.
