Is the Major Minor Fair for me?
Thinking about changing your major?
Maybe the major you chose in high school doesn’t feel quite right anymore. Interests change, goals evolve, and that’s OK. Come explore what else is possible.
Still figuring it out?
Undeclared? Unsure where to start? You don’t need to have a plan before you arrive. The fair is a great place to start exploring.
Looking for a minor?
Love your major but want to add something that complements your interests or career goals — or simply something you want to learn more about? Come see what’s available.
Just curious?
You don’t have to be considering a change. Sometimes it’s worth seeing what you didn’t know existed.
Learn more. Worry less.
“I got to learn more and worry less.”
