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.

The 2024 Majors Fair will be October 1st, 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Baker University Center Ballroom.

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.
