- This come and go program is your chance to get any and all questions answered about the majors and minors at OSU. Join representatives from each academic college who will be able to answer your major or career-related questions and give you the information you are looking for!
OSU offers more than 87 majors that encompass over 200 options. Deciding on the major that fits you the best requires finding a major compatible with your interests, talents, and skills to prepare you for a bright future!
Close to 70% of college students change their major at least once and somewhere between 20-50% enter college truly undecided upon an academic major or their future career plans.
Start your self-exploration now with the following steps to help you decide on a major that fits your goals and can lead you toward a successful career.
- Discover Yourself: Identify your personal style, interests, skills, and values
- Explore Opportunities: Pinpoint possible career options that match your interests
- Connect the Dots: Connect the information you have gathered to majors and minors that match you best
- Decision-Making: Review your options, speak to your College Career Coordinator, and make a decision
- Evaluate Your Decision: Ask yourself how you feel now, are you enjoying your classes, do you feel more confident, are your grades improving, etc.
With each of the steps above, Career Services has assessments, programs, and one-on-one appointments to help with the exploring majors process.
