Lake Erie College is partnering with Bowling Green State University (BGSU) to strengthen pathways for students pursuing graduate education in health and human performance fields. This partnership formalizes collaborative routes for students in exercise science and related pre-professional programs to continue their education at BGSU in athletic training, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. The agreements support progression into the BGSU Master of Athletic Training program and growing Doctor of Physical Therapy and Doctor of Occupational Therapy programs. These programs are the first hybrid programs offered at an Ohio public university and are meeting workforce needs and expanding access to education and patient care.
