The following are some representative examples of academic majors, arranged by possible areas of interest. These were choosen to show the variety and range of areas offered at Ohio State. In addition to, and with the help of, their assigned adviser, GBC students may use the resources which are highlighted throughout this Web site to explore majors and careers. One special resources is the University Survey Course . 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 a broad range of available majors.
Faculty and other university experts discuss the academic requirements and other important information about the major in which students are interested. Students also engage in self-assessment activities to determine their interests, abilities, and values. They examine alternative majors within the context of their 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 course is mandatory for all entering students to the University, who enter as uncommitted students.
