There are 11 active student organizations with many connected to their national professional affiliation. Each major emphasizes hands-on opportunities through practical experiences and laboratory courses. The college sponsors a Health Sciences Residential Community where students benefit from learning and socializing with other students taking similar classes, increased contacts with faculty in the health-science academic majors, and academic advising and career exploration that takes place within the residence hall. Students who have not taken all these recommended courses may be required to take University courses to make up any deficiencies. Admission to the Program BGSU's criminal justice program is one of the few selective entry programs in the country.
Admission is highly competitive.
Students admitted demonstrate high academic standards and strong initiatives. Entering freshmen can be admitted with an ACT composite score of 24 or higher and high school GPA of 3.0 or above.

Current BGSU and transfer students are required to have an overall minimum GPA of 2.5 based on a minimum of 25 graded semester hours and completion of Introduction to Criminal Justice with a C or better.
