Student Organizations and Resources

Professional schools value well-rounded students who seek out meaningful experiences that connect to their professional goals.

BGSU offers many student organizations that allow pre-professional students to develop the valuable skills that make you a stronger candidate for graduate school programs:

  • Collaboration. Work in collaborative environments on student orgs that mimic the team approach in healthcare and law.
  • Leadership. Strengthen communication skills that are crucial to being a good leader.
  • Critical thinking and problem solving. Practice these skills in real-world scenarios that require innovative solutions.
