Academics: 2010-2011 Calendar
BGSU operates on a semester system composed of two 16-week semesters beginning in late August and ending in early May. The third semester, at which attendance is optional, is the summer session from mid-June through late August.
To complete a bachelor's degree in four academic years (8 semesters), a student must average 15 credit hours per semester. The time required to complete a higher level degree (master's or doctorate) depends on the specific degree program.
The 2009-2010 calendar is also available.
