‘America’s Best Colleges’ cites BGSU

August 20, 2004

BOWLING GREEN, O.—The 2005 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” has named Bowling Green State University in “Programs to Look For,” a section of the guide which notes outstanding offerings that lead to student success.

For the second consecutive year, Bowling Green is noted for its learning community programs. Other institutions cited for their stellar learning communities include Yale, the University of Maryland-College Park, the University of Michigan, and Miami University of Ohio.

In the small-group, residential learning communities, BGSU students with similar interests and goals live and study together. Students work closely with outstanding faculty members who teach classes and have offices right in the residence halls where the academically based programs are housed. The University also has themed learning communities.

U.S. News & World Report compiled the list of 26 institutions with outstanding learning communities with the help of education experts, including staff of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, college presidents, academic officers and deans of students who nominated stellar programs for consideration.

Glad to hear some good academic news coming from BG.

Taft's recent gutting of the education budget has caused a lot of negative remarks all the way out here.
