Ohio State has over 170 undergraduate majors. The following are some representative examples of academic majors, arranged by possible areas of interest. These were chosen to show the variety and range of areas offered at Ohio State. In addition to, and with the help of, their assigned adviser, General Baccalaureate Curriculum students may use the resources which are highlighted in the following sections to explore majors and careers. The special GBC version of the University Survey course helps exploring students gather important information about themselves, academic programs, and occupational relationships.
Students become familiar with the broad range of available majors.
Faculty and other university experts discuss the academic requirements and other important information about the majors in which students are interested. Students also engage in self-assessment activities to determine their interests, values, and abilities. They examine alternative majors within the context of the personal strengths they have identified. Since their adviser is the instructor for the course, students can continue to explore with their adviser after the course is completed, using essential information gathered through the course as a base for continued exploratory activities. This site is created specifically for students in the General Baccalaureate and Alternatives Advising Programs.
