Honors Intent Form Fall 2024 Congratulations on being admitted to the Honors College at BGSU. By joining the Honors College, you will be joining a community of scholars. Through an emphasis on personal and intellectual development, you will be challenged to identify your values and broaden your worldview. The Honors College is a small, intentional community of high achieving students - exceptional scholars who embody academic excellence. We think you would make an excellent addition to our community. Our small class sizes invite thoughtful, spirited interaction among students who draw strength, focus, and inspiration from one another. We're better individually because of who we are collectively. Some of the privileges of the Honors College include smaller classes, the opportunity to develop mentoring relationships with your faculty members, priority registration, and individualized attention from Honors College staff. You also will graduate with University Honors with the highest distinction on campus. As you are making your decision to attend BGSU, we also want you to consider if the Honors College is right for you. If you are no longer interested in Honors, you can note this below.
