It strives to promote intellectual development, scholarship, leadership, ethics and training in basic and applied research relevant to the public and nonprofit sectors at various levels.

The program serves its students, BGSU, the state of Ohio, the US, and the international community by promoting innovative and effective solutions in the public and nonprofit sectors.
Internship/Experiential Paper and Thesis
- As part of the program requirements students are required to complete either an internship and capstone project, or thesis.
- Most of our students pursue the internship option as a means to gain meaningful work experience prior to graduation. Internships may be either paid or unpaid placements in the public sector, and may be completed either during the school year or the summer.
- Students with prior work experience may be waived out of the internship, but must still complete the capstone.
