Majors Fair
All undergraduate students interested in learning more about Ohio University's academic majors, minors, and certificates are invited to participate in the Majors Fair. The Majors Fair provides students with an opportunity to meet faculty, professional advisors, and students connected to each major, minor, and certificate program, to discuss their questions and interests.
What to Expect
The annual Majors Fair features representatives from each major. The 2022 Majors Fair will take place Thursday, September 29. Since the event was hosted virtually the last two years, here is a look at 2019 highlights.
How to Participate
Take your time to explore OHIO’s over 250 academic programs. Explore majors, but also minors and certificates!
All first-year students are encouraged to attend. Advance registration is not required, but be sure to sign in as you enter in case you need class credit.
Check with your Learning Community Instructor or Learning Community Leader for additional information about attending with your class, or with your UC 1900 peers.
